Adamant uses two older hulls and is loosely modelled on a Bridgwater Canal tug with boiler and engine well forward. It is owned by Philip Martino and has been in service since 1995. The current vertical boiler and Cochrane compound engine were not the originals and replaced a Sisson single cylinder engine and water tube boiler. The vessel was participating in a rally on the Coventry Canal and was heading for the wharf at Hawkesbury Junction.
