Keifer1972 Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hi , can anybody tell me if my 70' hard chine steel Schooner originally called DARLIE was built in 1950 by Harris brothers ? And does anybody have any historical photos or information about her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 It would help if you could post photos of the boat in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek R. Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 It's an interesting vessel, but I fancy not one that would have been built the the Harris Brothers known to many inland waterways users. Harris Brothers of Bumble Hole on the Midland canals, specialised in building working narrow boats. There might have been another set of brothers by the name of Harris of course. Good luck with your search though, any avenue is worth investigating amongst boat builders. https://hnbc.org.uk/boats/ben https://www.discoveringbritain.org/content/discoveringbritain/trail booklets/Windmill End Bumble Hole trail.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam & Di Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Has she been a registered ship at any time? If so there would be registry numbers carved in somewhere which should give pointers to the full details. Also the name would be unique - I'd probably start at https://www.ukshipregister.co.uk/registration/service-request/check-a-ship-name/ but a quick internet search shows several other possibilities.

Tam & Di Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 I came across this https://www.islandcruisingclub.com/our-island-story It mentions Darlie under the heading "Consolidation" as one the ships owned by a member. It does not give builder details, but you could obviously contact someone there for further infrmation. Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Very unlikely to the Harris that had a yard on the Thames. I think its now All 4 marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
