Site related news, functions and modules / VIOD II - former inland cargo ship

« on: September 01, 2020, 09:24:06 AM »

I have just added a picture of this now Houseboat, previously, Inland Dry Cargo Vessel (no pictures since 2012). I identified it as an Inland Dry Cargo Vessel (no provision for Houseboat) with a note to say it's now a Houseboat. In view of the Use Change, should I delete it please?

Shipping News and information / Help Please ~ Tahilla...

« on: January 25, 2017, 09:38:06 AM »

I'm ever so sorry to bother but I spotted 'Tahilla' heading downstream in the Thames yesterday.
There was a 'Dunkirk Little Ship' of the same name but I'm not sure she is the one and the same.
Is anyone able to help please? Thank you...

Shipping News and information / Wibbley Wobbley (England's Floating Pub)

« on: December 14, 2016, 01:44:28 PM »

I hope it's OK to mention this here but earlier today I noticed Wibbley Wobbley (England's Floating Pub) moored in the Thames at Erith (I understand she had previously been moored upstream in Greenland Dock). Apparently, she started life during the 1920's as a Rhine Ferry and it seems the Pub finally closed for business sometime during 2014 (or thereabouts). Anyway: whilst I was there, Tug, "Rona D", arrived and from what I could see was towing her over to Anchor Bay Wharf to be, I assume, broken up. That being said, I didn't actually see her moored at Anchor Bay Wharf; nor am I aware she is due to be broken up.

As an aside, I can't find her in Shipspotting although she may not qualify for inclusion.

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.
