Hi As a new menber of canal world, can I say how very interesting I find the replies, as the owner of the Sharpness then please lets get it right,
She was built in 1908 at Brimscome Port being the only one to be built there, as Worcester and Birmingham were built by the same firm but at chester on the R Dee.Yes she is uqiue and very much cared for, having put in 4 years of hard work on the hull replting and refit, does give us a great sense of pride,
Her cabin has been exterened forward some 12" and towards the stern over what was the tug deck, the cabin has aslso been heightern with the curvered top to give more head room, yes we can stand up as she draws 3 ft and is very cosy.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
