Lewis R Jenkins?

[SarahB]

Hi all

 

I wondered if I could pick your brains? My friend's dad commissioned a boat back in 73/74 and it was built (not sure if just fitted) by his staff and then the boat went on to be used by Venture Scouts...

 

All I know is that it was a 70ft trad and named Lewis R Jenkins.

 

My friend's dad died a few years ago and I wanted to see if I could "find" any pictures or any stories about the boat for them. We believe it has now gone to the canal waters in the sky but I'd love to be able to provide them with some more info.

 

Can anyone help??

Hi Sarah, I don't know anything about this boat, but I found a reference to it on this website.

 

Take a look.

Thanks you're a star! I shall take a look and hopefully print something out for them to go in their Christmas card!

 

Thanks again - I'm off to look.
