The fact that there's a decent pub at the bottom of it helps too. ... On this day in 2008 Napton Bottom Lock Pub sign is visible below the lock on the left. The nice Mr Google looks along the drive. And tied up on Southern Oxford below Napton locks More twentyeighths of January And So To Bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Liley Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 St-Jean-de-Losne, 1994. Having voyaged for 68 years, through countless locks , the Luciole, ex-Palinurus, ex Ponctuel was entitled to a facelift. The new plating was 6 mm thick, an improvement on what was there before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
