That would mean a 'cilling' then. Not as I understand it, a cilling is when the boat gets caught up on the cill as the lock is almost empty, if what is suggested is correct then the boat would have started to go down at the front almost as soon as the lock started to empty. Its a "hanging" similar to Alan Fincher and his incident,though this time it appears to be the stern rather than the Bow. |

How can you hang from the top gates without touching the cill?!

Looking at the photo, it was going up and seems to be in the middle of a staircase? That being the case, and reading that the elderly mother was able to get off, it must have been well up the lock rise when the problem occurred. Pure supposition - perhaps a trailing stern rope trapped in the bottom of the lower gates?
