some nice pictures there daz, I like that Cockleshell heroes two man caneo, I would like to try crossing the channel in that, with a safety boat, in slack water, and in summer, something those commandos of WW2 didn't have the luxury of choosing. That first picture at the top is Queen Victoria's steam cutter, she liked travelling in that by all accounts, she was a sucker for mechanical things. We had to get the smoke stack off the thing for polishing, what a struggle that was.
