Heartland Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Was the steam launch Black Angel the first canal cruiser? On August 4th, 1876 Peter Willans set off for a journey from the Thames at Henley to Yorkshire that would take in inland waterways and rivers. He did it, at least in part, to prove the advantages of his patent engine. In doing so Peter encouraged other explorative voyages. These included Temple Thurstan on the Flower of Gloucester and Lionel Thomas Caswell Rolt on Cressy. What ever happened to Black Angel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
