Rivetted boats in general

[Heartland]

I saw this craft on the Shropshire Union moored in front of the Midland & Coast CC TAURUS, but am unsure of the type or identification.

Ex BCN Joey Boat perhaps?

 

 

Another interesting riveted boat.

Second boat. 

 

I think it is an ex Thames Conservancy vessel. Rather a nice boat recently for sale.

Indeed so.

In fact Ray has take the pictures from a thread he started where it was identified as such.

Built by Uxbridge Steel Barrel Company in 1912 (it says!).

These look like riveted boats to me.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Got my coat and to quote a very brave man "I am just going outside, I may be some time."

To quote: -

". . . and the usual myriad of rivets."

 

The Hudson boats are spoilt by the mis-match of shear from the hull sides to the fore-deck. It does indeed look like a kit that has been made up of dissimilar parts. Less graceful, more awkward. A sort of Michael Jackson nose job.
