Had a meal at Stubbing pub last year. Ordered pint of TT landlord and from the pump came a very pale yellow beer. I said that’s not landlord and the youth said that’s what the pump says.

Gloriana has a discrete set of motors used principally as bow thrusters (!!) - as you can immagine changing direction slightly can be a bit of a challenge when there are several 'motors'.

She has visited 'our' marina several times and is a joy to behold at clse quarters. The Hasrbour Master says, quite sternly- "just look, do not touch" - else you'll stain the gold leaf....

When we saw it (April 2014) at Teddington, there were no oars deployed as it made its was through and out of the lock

I remember that! We had gone down in the caravan and by the time we got back home the snow was quite deep and the conservatory leaped out and hit the caravan as I drove round the house to park it up ? . We spent the day before the show polishing mushroom vents - in the rain!

Funny we were on the same waterways together for a while and I kept getting asked by walkers where/what the rally was.

 

Both boats had the same owner.

 

I used to work and did my apprenticeship for the after-runner of that Company (Gas, Light and Coke Co. which got nationalised in '49) so I kept the name.
