The System's lost boats

We often receive requests for help in tracing individual narrow boats.
Usually it's for personal reasons, often the boat was a family home.

To provide this help, and to preserve the narrow boat stock generally, we are building a history of as many boats as possible. This listing will highlight boats most at risk,and perhaps
encourage other to help save them.

Our list of boats

Above is a link to lists of all the boats we know about. In many cases our information is limited and out of date. We would very much appreciate personal memories, as well as photographs and current details of any of the boats.

If you can add to our knowledge in any way please get in touch
