tarboat Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I have had this image for some time. It was taken at Runcorn in the early 1950s and shows a couple of six plank boats. One belongs to Jonathan Horsefield Limited, but who owned the Wye behind? It is registered 1158, presumably at Manchester. The kids on the Marjorie have spotted the camera! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluto Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 1 hour ago, archie57 said: Simpson Davies? I would agree with Simpson Davies as the cabin side wording ends in '…S Ltd'. Six plank boats were usually owned by Runcorn firms, Simpson Davies or Horsfields, and perhaps Rathbone's/Wells at Stretford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
