Spotted a nice little wooden craft moored above Shadehouse Lock on the T & M whilst out walking Beth this morning, i.e. Tamburo (Liverpool). Quite different from the craft you usually see around here.
There is no doubt that Tamburo is lovingly cared for by her owner – the standard of varnishing and polishing was impressive I can tell you. Unfortunately the owner was not on board when we passed, thus no facts and figures available at the moment.
Hi Nev,
Said boat moved off Shadehouse today just after we passed on our way to Kings Bromley for our monthly domestics. Apparently it has a 2′-6″ draft and a rounded bottom, so OK for most canals and was built in 1963!
Cheers, Chris.
Chris,
I think this boat was at Tixell when we came past early last week and much activity was going on – not uncommon I can imagine on this boat. They certainly have taken a slow run down to fradley….. can’t fault them for that.
