A former working boat, but which?
Back in April, on one of our best cruises ever, we passed this former working boat on the Dudley No. 1 Canal in the Brierley Hill area below the Delph Locks.
I couldn't see a name, but I admit I was more interested in photographing the ducks on the gunwale!
There is, I understand, a way of identifying where the boat was built by looking at the bow. I think it's something to do with how the hull plates are rivetted to the stem post. Sarah will know.

It *looks* like a Woolwich to me. I wouldn't like to go any further than that.
