locateinternational Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Good moring all, I am an investigator for the charity Locate International, and am hoping to speak with someone with good knowledge of the canal boat community to help us with a missing person / unidentified person case. We are looking to learn more about a specific boat / boat type. Would anyone be open to a short email exchange to help us with learning more about this wonderful community?

We usually ask for a crime number that can be checked. I appreciate this may not involve a crime but how else can we know you are not part of a matrimonial dispute, are in dispute with a boater, and so on. I am afraid linking to a random website does not cut it as far as I am concerned, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locateinternational Posted September 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Hi Tony - completely appreciate that and more than happy to provide further detail. I do have a registered email that I can contact you on if that would be sufficient. Alternatively, I will ask someone in our Management Team to contact you directly. All the best.

"Specific boat" answers will be much more guarded, as there have been problems in the past, regarding privacy etc. Bod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locateinternational Posted September 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Thanks for the advice Bod - really helpful! Don't at all want to invade privacy, everything we're doing is for the good, so let me take this back to the team and we'll revert in an appropriate way. All the best.

I am sorry but I don't know enough about boat types and boating people to help. As far as boat type is concerned it may need some photos to identify the builder but then we get into the invasion of privacy thing. Have you contacted CaRT on official paper to ask for their help?

Popular Post Victor Vectis Posted September 7, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 They're not looking for Chelsea Horrobin are they? I mean, she could be hiding with whoever it is who is living on an, < ahem >, barge on the Felpersham Canal. 😀 (This will mean nothing to those who don't follow The Archers) 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best and thank you for your guidance. A further though. If the person is felt to be vulnerable then I think CaRT have a welfare section, and it may help if you contact Canal Ministries and Waterways Chaplaincy. Although both are Christian based they will try to help anyone and have representatives all over the system. https://www.canalministries.org.uk/ https://www.waterwayschaplaincy.org.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PD1964 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Looking at their web site, it looks like they mainly look into cold case missing and unidentifiable dead person cases from years ago, nothing really current from what I can see on there missing person list. https://locate.international/ Edited September 7, 2022 by PD1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
