The Volta eventually found its way to France where it was taken out of service and used as a oil storage tank.
The Volta was 34 feet long with a diameter of about 7 feet and weighed 17 tons.
Another rumour says that in 1909 she was seen near London and was eventually scrapped after the first world war.
I have since found out that a very similar quote as above appeared in the Hawera, North Island, New Zealand newspaper in 1910, Amazing!!.
Thanks to Mary Norris for the research.
