Ive walked from Kings Cross down Camden Way to Limehouse taking in St Katherines dock then back up past Victoria Park to Angel and then back to their digs at farringdon...its quite a long way,,,,but I love the towpath trail...

I don't know if the following boats are for sale, but it may be nice to see them anyway. They're moored only one lock away from the Thames in London. Peter. Bit rough arnt they best job would be to cut them up for scrap.................

There was one of them available just for the taking, in Canning Dock. Somebody just took it anyway.

Yes, I understand the historical significance but I imagine Humber Museums would have had this boat donated to them, or will have bought it for somewhere near scrap price, I'm struggling to see who might pay nearly half-a-million pounds for one, especially one which does not even have an engine.

However .... gut it and fit it with several luxury en-suite rooms and moored somewhere Like Docklands, you could charge a fortune as a luxury exclusive mini hotel
