During a morning stroll along the Macclesfield Canal I was delighted to see this narrowboat passing. One of two Royalty Class boats (Prince and Henry) built in 1931 by James Pollock Sons & Co Ltd of Faversham, Kent. The original owner was Associated Canal Carriers Ltd and subsequently the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company.

The Macclesfield Canal has a long history of boathouses for storing pleasure boats when not in use. Those on the main line have been removed over the years, but there were, until recently, plenty to be seen along the High Lane arm which is used by the North Cheshire Cruising Club as a base. Sadly the move to larger steel boats has rendered these relics redundant and most have now been removed.

The Harpy Boathouse

nobody@ipernity.com (tarboat) — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 06:35:36 +0000

tarboat has posted:

This historic houseboat was built in 1904 and named HMS Harpy. It was used as a floating Customs & Excise office and VIP/royal landing stage. The vessel was first moored on the north bank of the Thames, 400 yards west of Tower Bridge. Decommissioned in 1980, the present owners moved it to a new mooring on the South Bank, 400 yards east of Tower Bridge, and undertook a restoration and interior re-fit to create a 4-bedroom floating house for short term holiday rentals.

Norfolk Wherry Albion sails slowly upstream on the River Yare near Berney Arms. It was a great pleasure to see this rare survivor under sail. She was built for Bungay maltsters, W.D. and A.E. Walker in 1898 and has been in the care of the Norfolk Wherry Trust since 1949.

Yeo

tarboat has posted:

This is the River Class butty Yeo, built by EC Jones & Son of Brentford in 1959 for British Transport Waterways, a division of the British Transport Commission. The River Class boats were a new design of narrowboat, designed to be cheap and simple to construct and to have 20% extra carrying capacity over more traditional boats. They were built of welded steel sections and used blue glass fibre hatch covers instead of cloth covers.

George

tarboat has posted:

The short boat George was built in 1910 to carry coal for the Wigan Coal & Iron Company. This is now the sole survivor of the transom-stern boats commonly used on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. After it finished working on the coal trade in Lancashire the boat was saved for the Boat Museum at Ellesmere Port where it remains after a major rebuild in 2016. This view shows the transom stern as it was in 2003 in the livery of its original owners.

The tarboat is leaving the top lock at Salterhebble on the Calder & Hebble Navigation. This is definitely the eastern limit for the boat as it is around 13ft longer than the lock! It was a bit of fun to take the boat to the very furthest point it could get.

A small convoy from Manchester to Ellesmere Port is passing the Stanlow oil refinery. Narrowboat Victoria leads the way with Short Boat Severn close behind and then some way behind comes tanker narrowboat Spey. An easy short day's boating compared with the long haul via Middlewich and Chester.

The fuels storage capacity at Wick Harbour seems somewhat excessive to supply this fishing vessel. I suspect the fleet was actually out working.
