Yeah its a mystery to me too, it looks professional enough but maybe its not a BW thing at all. If anyone has any better pics id love to see.

I have just remembered where I have seen a River class butty with a drop in cabin! It is on the hnbc page for Ure. When I get home I will try to upload a photo.

 

Anyone know the story behind that one?

I think it was a modern construction by owner Matt Beamish who documented the fit out online but can’t remember where.  The pod was styled loosely on the lift out cabin fitted to river class Anne  but rather longer.  He later had Brinklow built him a replica Admiral motor Pellew seen moored alongside.

I know. Thats where I got the image from. It doesnt give any detail about the cabin though (unless I missed it)

Great, thats useful info, thanks! I will try to find online where it has been documented. Although from searching today there seems to be scant information on Ure online.

I knew you knew (), but thought I'd put the link up s people could see what you were referring to.
