Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
This beautiful vessel was the last canal inspection launch built in this country in 1928 and is one of only four remaining (three afloat). She was used extensively by the Directors of the Grand Junction Canal Co in the 1930s and 1940s and was transferred to British Waterways in 1950. Used by then sporadically, she was eventually left idle and neglected until 1970 when she was sold into private hands and extensively restored.
This beautiful vessel has had lots of love and money poured on her and now needs a new owner to keep her in her current condition.
Viewing highly recommended!
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
