Last time i went from Icknield Port we went up Smethwick and down Spon Lane just to use them. Glad I am not the only idiot on here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Liley Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) These are the metric dimensions of my friend Leigh Wootton's barge in France. A tonnage of 1454 needs a draught of 2.72 metres, more than the old canal beside the upper Seine can handle. 1,000 tonnes is thus the present-day limit here. What got Leigh his present contact however is the ability to get the boat back with empty containers on board - thanks to this ballast tank, and one aft. Together they take 90 tonnes of water, enabling the vessel to get beneath the bridges with millimetres to spare (They sheared the head off a rivet once at the bridge before Nogent). Here they are on the way back to Nogent-sur-Seine. : Edited July 31, 2021 by John Liley Added explanation 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A floating library with a National collection of short stories https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/19330266.first-look-inside-floating-library-featuring-collection-short-stories/ Boat is a new build, eye catching, and while at first I wasn't impressed actually she is an interesting deviation from the norm, lovely quirky bits and overall I liked the boat.
