My granddad sailed on this barge for many years. Also was part of the project team when it was converted from steam to diesel power. Would love to be able to see this vessel?

I'm hoping to get some soon. My Uncle has recently passed away and i think he had the levers magazine's which featured the boat a few times. I would love to see the barge. Good luck with your work. If I find some pictures I will let you know.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
