The TV article the other night was good.

12 minutes of joy to all involved in her rescue and restoration. The Art Deco saloon is superb.

 

Some forum members who have crossed the Mersey may recognise Stuart Wood speaking from the bridge to someone on the quayside.

A message from our Chairman Dan Cross

The River Weaver is Cheshire’s hidden Gem, a glorious and scenic waterway cutting right through the heart of the Cheshire countryside while it’s history and architecture remind us of it’s once important status as a commercial waterway.

Seen on the Mersey at Eastam this afternoon, pity I had to miss the trip over. 1st view coming down channel, 2nd about to enter the lock which had us wondering if there was enough water. 80 passengers we were told according to the VHF. Slight rain thus everything grey.

Nice.

She looks so much better than the sad state I remember her at Ellesmere port.

Here are a couple of views that illustrate the Tender part of Tug/Tender. The saloon was 1936 Art Deco, the remains of which were so amazing when we first looked at her back in 2004. The saloon was an extra incentive to try and save her.

This is normal for a tug to have her fenders down..!!

[Jrtm]

Atleast there nice looking fenders could be plastic white things
