  10. Hi, Yes Stewarts and Lloyds Tug Number 2 was the former GUCCCo 'little woolwich' motor Algol. There are a few photos below of her at the Stewarts and Lloyds gathering in May 2007, she was restored by Dennis Cooper in 1986 and now moors on the lower Grand Union, (i think) Kind Regards Matt Parrott Sickle
  11. Hi, This message should probably be in the "For Sale" section but thought it would get more response here. A friend of mine is reluctantly selling the Small Woolwich motor Vesta, shortened to 45ft for Stewarts and Lloyds in 1947. To see the advert click the link below Vesta advert Kind Regards Matt Sickle
  12. Hi, I have uploaded some photos and movies of the rally onto my website link Excellent weekend! Matt
  13. I think it's the Middle Northwich motor Taygeta, now used by BW as a maintenance boat around Anderton. Kind Regards Matt
  14. The Zodiac on the waterscape link is the Middle Northwich motor originally named Tucana, she was renamed by BW to Zodiac, so there is now two Middle Northwich's named Zodiac. Matt
