A narrow boat with a hull of steel plate built in 1937 by W. J. Yarwood, with a Lister diesel HR2A engine, installed in 1958. She was built for the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company, but was converted for residential passenger use and operated by London Borough of Camden between 1972 -1998. Ownership transfered to the registered charity Camden Canals & Narrowboat Asscoc. (CCNA) in 1998, on condition that she continues to operate as a community boat. CCNA is staffed entirely by unpaid vounteers.
Available for hire or excursions - with CCNA volunteers aboard as skipper and crew. She can often be seen, when we are carrying customers, travelling between her home mooring at King’s Place (near King’s Cross) and Little Venice, or en route to/from Limehouse Basin, Victoria Park or the River Lea

She is available for hire for days out, part-days and residential trips, though she is not available to self-steer. If anyone wanted to hire her without going anywhere, this is something we would be able to consider, although we are not usually permitted to have anyone aboard after 10pm on the home mooring at King's Place.
Her home mooring on the Regent's Canal, next to King's Place, 90 York Way, King's Cross, London N1 9AG
