NARROWBOAT IDENTIFICATION

This volume is intended to give the viewer a basic knowledge of the
types of working narrowboats which were once common on our waterways.
It is not a definitive volume of all types and sub types of craft but
a guide to features by which you cam learn to understand where the
boat was built and who owned it and what it did.
The film covers, Fellows Morton & Clayton, The Grand Union canal
Carrying company, Severn & Canal Carrying Company, Nursers Dock, Thos
Clayton, The Northern boats, the BCN tugs, station boats, Bantocks,
Admiral class and more.
I try to describe in a simple way how the boats differ and guide the
viewer to the distinctive features.
The film also features plans of craft and some of the graveyards that
existed with many discarded boats.
Separate to the main film is a in depth view of a Grand Union motor
boat plan.
Also included is a film of a large boat parade in Birmingham to allow
you to test your knowledge of what you are seeing.

Running time 91 minutes.
