'Nuneaton' in 1972 fitted with an outboard engine, believed to be at Norton Canes, in order to get her to Northampton. #throwbackthursday #historicnarrowboats #workingboats #canallife #IndustrialHeritage #narrowboats #IndustrialHistory #HistoricCanals #nationalhistoricships

Bought in the 1970's by the NBT, 'SATELLITE' was later sold, then cut in half and motorised. The fore end keeping the original name, whilst the stern was renamed 'GANYMEDE'. #throwbackthursday #historicnarrowboats #workingboats #narrowboats #HistoricCanals #nationalhistoricships

Throwback Thursday: A couple of weeks back, I posted a photograph of 'SATELLITE' from the mid 1960s. Here's 'SATELLITE' in a pretty poor state with 'ALTON' in June 1973, possibly taken at Norton Canes. #historicnarrowboats #workingboats #HistoricCanals #nationalhistoricships

Butties BRIGHTON and EALING - circa 1960s. The location of the photograph is the Northampton Arm at the junction of the canal and the River Nene in Northampton. #ThrowbackThursday #historicnarrowboats #workingboats #IndustrialHeritage #nationalhistoricships

BRIGHTON is currently in the dry dock this week having blacking applied and being smartened up ready to be reunited with NUNEATON after more than a year apart whilst the motor had a new bottom plate and an engine refurbishment. #nationalhistoricships #canallife #narrowboats

BRIGHTON looking good after a week in the dry dock - new hull blacking and bright newly-painted name. Thanks to the NBT volunteer members and to our maintenance manager for all their hard work. #historicnarrowboats #workingboats #canallife #HistoricCanals #nationalhistoricships
