It used to be by invitation only, has that changed?

I think you have to have an "acceptable" boat to be able to moor Inside the museum arm, i.e. historic boat of visibly appropriate appearance, in working trim - this does exclude some boats which are arguably "period" in original working trim such as Blue Tops, visible loads of plastic bagged coal etc. Modern boats such as the tug Joanna whilst looking ok would probably not pass muster, and conversions are also excluded, though you would probably get away with short cabin extensions - such as Minnow. Mooring outside the museum arm is "freely available" though the harbour master will arrange Historic boats to "fill up the space" nearest to the museum - but you can get away with converted historic boats, modern built working boats, coal in plastic bags etc.
