Replica Trow

[keble]

Wandering round Gloucester Docks last weekend I saw the replica Wye trow "Hereford Bull" moored up:

 

I'd seen this being built at Nielsen's yard back in March - it was used in the Jubilee pageant.

I hope it's going to be used for something now - it must have cost a fair bit to build!

It is a nice looking boat i wonder what its destiny will be? museum piece or other display item or sombodies home/business

May be it should go up the Severn and Droitwich barge Canal as the old wyche barges (similar to a trow) used to

carrying salt

Has anyone thought about putting a plywood top on it and making it in to a live-aboard??
