Pics: 62 ft narrowboat "tug" build

[Athy]

Very handsome, and of course the correct choice of engine!

Two things I'd like to know: who built the shell, and did the Alkali Company and their Atlas Works really exist?

did the Alkali Company and their Atlas Works really exist?

Yes indeed.

 

They were one of the group of companies that became ICI.

That's the same question (about the builder) , I asked in post # 4, but never had the answer, it surely must be kept secret.

Is that a dent in that panel? That's a shame

Only you!

 

You must be very chuffed with the end result, there are a lot of negative responses on here thinly veiled as advice, jealousy is a great revealer well done wish it was mine

My firm impression too.....

 

Looks like a farly standard Tyler Wilson, but with the embellishments.

Thanks for your information Sarah and Alan, I suppose that you are both right, and maybe one day we'll get Charles confirmation.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter.

It is rather splendid. I wouldn't have bothered with the R&C;s on the doors but that's just a personal thing.

 

The lines and especially the paint job and sign writing make it something rather special.

Tim Tyler, 2011 http://rugbyboats.co.uk/listings/meteor-62ft-narrowboat-tug-2011/

 

"Meteor is a tug style narrowboat completed in 2011, with beautifully detailed steelwork by Tim Tyler and fit out by Dursley & Hurst, with recent additional work by Wharf House Narrowboats at Braunston. Tim Tyler shells are widely regarded as some of the finest fabricated in the narrowboat world, and certainly his eye for fine lines and detail ranks up there with the best."
