Oh well, a reason for a picture ... That's one of my dogs! It looks like Gael who is sadly no longer with us. We were just talking the other day about the IWA festival at Burton on Trent which we attended on Gamebird. We took the dogs for a walk the first evening and she disappeared at one point and we found her on board Copperkins our shared boat which was there with other owners. It amazed us how she became aware of the boat from quite a distance when there were hundred of boats there. Haggis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Liley Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 The Forth & Clyde Canal in 1962, and what became of it the following year. Yachts such as this could pass through without having the masts lowered, while fishing vessels also made extensive use. All bridges could be lifted or, more commonly, swung under electric power (unless the fuses blew -which in the last days they increasingly did did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterScott Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) On this day in 2005 Dalmuir Drop Lock F&C. The original swing bridge here caused delays to traffic, was replaced by a wider fixed bridge, and the restoration project used this mechanism to retain the levels of both canal and road while allowing boats to pass underneath.

Seine at the junction of the Loing river and is home to many retired boatmen some living on their barges, a shipyard a floating drydock and on the opposite bank a refueling station and barge chandlery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
