I was wondering about 'Mana' of which there seem to have been quite a few.

A likely contender would be the tug of that name built 1890 and this vessel appears in Scottish Ship building database:

However illustration of Mana shows funnel/boilers aft of paddle boxes whereas in above photo funnel/boilers looks to be forward of paddles.
