The India Office ordered seven boats for the Royal Indian Marine based on the 125 Footer class of two years previous, but by 1892, these had still not been delivered. The Rpyal Navy took them up, renumbering them as T.B. 100-106 in 1901.[1]

Common Characteristics

Five 14-in torpedo tubes. Two 1-in twin-barrelled Nordenfeld guns. An alternative armament permitted them to land the tubes for some number of 3-pdr guns.[Inference][2]

Thornycroft Boats

These three boats could make 23 knots and had water-tube boilers and displaced 96 tons. Reboilered soon after 1900. Had been issued R.I.M. numbers 1-3 and names before being taken up by the Royal Navy.

Hanna, Donald & Wilson Boat

T.B. 101 could make 21.5 knots and displaced 92 tons. Reboilered in 1905. Had been issued R.I.M. numbers 7 and name Gurkha before being taken up by the Royal Navy.

White Boats

These three boats shared the White "turnabout" stern and were nimble. They could make 22 knots and displaced 95 tons. Had been issued R.I.M. numbers 4-6 and names before being taken up by the Royal Navy.
