History
There is some uncertainty about this vessel: it remains to be established whether it is an RAF sea plane tender or a naval pinnace.
Update, March 2021: Reported by River Canal Rescue organisation that LADY DORIS was sunk at her moorings and is being raised this month, after which she will be removed to Redhill Marina in Nottingham. They will then be seeking someone to take her on as a restoration project.
Currently up for sale. June 2021.
