I went to look at these two last month David. Went onboard both as they were due to be sold off very cheaply. I took photos throughout the boats, its more cosmetic and just a mess of how they were badly moored against a concrete wall and knocked about and unloved for 6 years. They were both locked up and fully working, but do need quite a bit of work thats for sure. Lord Waverley is actually the one in better nick! The portside rubbing band of lord devonport is totally hanging off where she has been hitting the wall for years with no fendering, also her wheel is missing after vandals tried to strip her, but other than the wheel she is complete and starts and runs.
The current owner i was told lived abroad and has since paid mooring fees and still owns them and has decided to move them to a new mooring somewhere on the River Medway
Speedwell is towing them today looking at Ais as it says Destination Medway
Im not hopeful that anything will change when they reach there, as they haven't been touched by the owner for 6 years just left laid up and rotting sadly
