magnetman 332 Report post #3 Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Second boat. I think it is an ex Thames Conservancy vessel. Rather a nice boat recently for sale. Edited November 28, 2019 by magnetman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!).

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.
