Sadly I have only come up with 2 photos this far. Doubt they will be much of interest as they only show the inside end of the boat. Did find the receipt for the 5 day trip. Cost us $142 .Seems quite reasonable these days but in 1964 it was a little pricey. Actually not that pricey when you consider we received 3 meals a day with snacks included. I also found 2 booklets “Cruising on the Trent Waterway”and “Cruising on the Fossdyke and Witham Navigations” Most interesting looking at them after so many years. I have also received in the mail from Amazon 3 books written by Iris Bryce on their life as canal liveaboards. I will keep looking to see if I can find any photos we may have taken of the outside of the “Water Wanderer”. Quite a task going through 53 years of photos.

Yes they did. Iris gave me a Canal Cookbook she had written. I am on a search for photos of the Water Wanderer. Quite daunting .

Pluto. Glad my post went through as I was not sure if I had done it correctly. I just joined so I could reply about the " Water Wanderer ". I will look through all my photos the next few days and see what I can come up with. i have also often wondered what happened to the lovely narrow boat called "Dorothy Grace" we rented in 1976 in October 1982 we rented another narrow boat but forget the name. We met a lovely couple who were living on their boat they had build . He was a Jazz Musician and she was a writer . Their name was Owen and Iris Bryce. Such an ideal way to get away from the life in a city.

My husband and I traveled on the "Water Wanderer" in August 1964 from Nottingham but did not make it to Lincoln. Sadly the Captain died the night before we were to cruise into Lincoln so we were taken in by bus. It was a wonderful cruise otherwise and we all were very upset at our Captain dying. I have photos somewhere of the trip if I can find them. Also a package of information about the cruise issued by the British Waterways . Twelve years later we returned to England and rented a Narrow boat and with our 2 young children cruised for 2 weeks and had a fabulous time.
