Narrowboats on the Grand Union Canal
The nearer one is converted from a working narrowboat, specifically from the Fellows Morton Clayton (FMC) steamer (steam-powered narrowboat) of that name, that was built . However there have been a number of changes, as this website http://www.joshers.info/showdetail.php?id=111 tells us. "Converted to motorboat 1924. Shortened by Ernest Thomas and called MERCURY. Relengthened using side plates from the FMC butty BRENTFORD. Now based on the GU at Uxbridge and owned by Peter Thompson of Marine Engine Services. Has a 15Hp Bolinder." My thanks to John Brightley for finding this link.
She (he?) was built as a steamer in 1899, of iron composite construction, at Saltley, Birmingham. Originally it would have looked more like her preserved sister "President" seen here Image]
Beyond is an unconverted working narrowboat, name unknown.

Elderly Boats, Grand Union Canal
This stretch of the GUC seems to have quite a lot of very old boats in various stages of restoration or decay, including some original wooden hull ones.

Narrow boats near Cowley, Grand Union Canal
These moored boats were empty of cargo when photographed. The butty's name is Ara, but I did not record the name of the motor. According to the signed lettering, they were owned by M. & B. Longman.
