sorry, its my wording that made it confusing. she was a hire boat on the trent and mersey possibly for a company called Alrewas cruising (we know she was a hire boat, but the bloke who told us alrewas cruising could be a little unreliable) she might have been called mayflower as a hire boat. when she was sold to private ownership, then she was shipped to the lancaster and called th'only.
there were 62 big rickys, so if you dont mind could you list the ones you can account for? im narrowing down the suspects!
yes, she is the current boat at Malkins bank, have you seen her?
oh and shes definatly not the small ricky ariel/linnet, although its quite a coincidence....
