'Starvationer' barge in dock, Worsley
One of the original barges used to bring coal from the mine at Worsley, so called because of the exposed ribs. This picture was taken in 1974 and it would seem the barge has disappeared since.

Dry docks, Bridgewater Canal, Worsley
These dry docks are shown on the large-scale OS map surveyed in 1845. They were probably old then. The coal mines at Worsley were the reason for building the Bridgewater Canal in the 1760s.

Fly boat "Dee" at Worsley
This preserved fly boat is typical of the wide-boats that were built for the Leeds-Liverpool canal and the adjacent canals, to take advantage of the wide (14 feet) but short (60 feet) locks. A fly boat was one that did its journey non-stop, often including through the night, replacing horses at regular intervals. They commanded a higher fee and were used for perishable and time important goods. Characterised by a low rear deck and low cabin.
