Further to previous, I found this page on Walbran's British Columbia Coast Names with considerable detail on the ship in question, which turns out to have been the only steam vessel at Petropavlovsk; also included are details of crew, tonnage etc.Skookum1 (talk) 02:37, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And although one of these pictures (public domain availability, also) are of the later torpedo boat also bearing this name.Skookum1 (talk) 02:39, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

that one is HMS Virago (1895) and this looks like a good illustration for that stub; license to use is {{PD-Canada}}. Also illustration for HMS Sparrowhawk's torpedo-boat incarnation...Skookum1 (talk) 02:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
