Help Please:
« on: April 07, 2013, 04:11:01 PM »
I apologise for being a bother and hope that I am not misusing this Forum but earlier today I saw Tug, Nipashore, towing an unidentified vessel down the Thames (see attachment).  I wonder if anyone might be able to identify the unknown (to me anyway) vessel please?  A zillion thanks in advance.

The vessel in tow is a "Spits", an inland vessel which used to ply the Dutch, Belgian and French rivers, typically of 300 tons. She must have been towed across the Channel and up the Thames quite some time ago. Judging by the daylights she was used as a houseboat on the Thames.

Rgds,
Robert.
