COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
Regarding this photo and the other one of the Cockney Sparrow both in the same place,they are 100% getting ready for the summer season up river.
Heres her history:
Length: 106ft
Beam: 20ft
Draft: 2ft 6ins
Displacement: 70.73 tons
Engine: Steam (1915-48) Leyland Thornycroft 760 (1948)
Construction: Steel
Builder: Salter Bros., Oxford

In 1975 she burnt out and most of her aft was destroyed. Albert Ellis bought Kingwood, took her to Robin's Lock at Limehouse and made her the modern-looking boat she is today.
