Intestingly "The Admiral" as it is known to most people at the club came out of Burrells works with the name "Admiral Togo" It wasnt untill the second world war when Japan lost respect from the British that its name was then changed to "The Admiral" This is how it was when it entered preservation but had its original name returned when reposessed by the club, Even now tho it is nearly always referred to with its abreviated name.

Admiral Togo , C in C of the Japanese Grand Fleet , defeated the Russian's Port Arthur squadron at the Battle of the Yellow Sea in August 1904 . The Russians then sailed their Baltic fleet half way around the world , to have them blown out of the water by Togo at Tsushima in May 1905 .
Burrells . or old man Ball , were quite quick off the mark , 2706 being sent away on 14 October '04 Britain had supplied all three fleets , so it was all awfully good for business . |

Chris, a guy called rawcliffe had it before the club, that is he bought it from Balls.
I always wonder wht Issac Ball named some of his engines, clearly Admiral Togo was a famous man, and no doubt in all the papers, and I don't think he had done any damage to the British Empire Cristiaan Rudolf de Wet was a different matter. One of the celebrated Generals of the earlier anglo Boer war, then in the Boer War proper gave us brits more than one good kicking!. He was probably the best of the Boer leader. By 1903 he had been acting president of the Orange Free State and had toured Europe. Strikes me an odd thing to call an engine after an ememy. After all, nobody called any engines after Erwin Rommell!
