This photo shows the stern end of a wooden narrowboat on the drydock at Hatton, Grand Union Canal. The dock is on the north side of the canal alongside the fourth lock down the flight of 21 locks. The boat is named 'Forget-Me-Not'. It is a former working narrowboat which was converted in the 1960s for use as a hotel boat. Recently the full-length cabin was stripped off and the boat is being restored to near-original condition. As part of the restoration, the boat was on dock to have the seams in its hull re-caulked and repainted with tar.
