Her name is WILL - renamed from WILL EVERARD in 1966, when Everard's sold her.

I think this looks more like WILL EVERARD. I have a model of her and this looks almost identical, down to the painted scrollwork, boat and wheelhouse. I dont think XYLONITE has a wheelhouse, unless one has been added recently.

Hi, Talsarnau
!The problem is that all Thames barges look pretty similar! I've checked around on the XYLONITE and the only 2 sources I found so far that give the port of registry both have it as Harwich, while the the one in my photo is clearly registered in Maldon
