Gallery pictures containing Prince

We have 5 hand drawn and coloured maps of the routes of the hotel boats Prince and Mafeking. They are described as \" Waterborne Tours the route of Prince and Mafeking\". We are moving to smaller premisis and would like to find a good home for the maps. Any museums interested? pjm.helly@googlemail.com

Sold by FMC to the Oxford Co Op for carrying coal from Coventry to Oxford. In 1946 the boat was sold to Tom Whitley, who converted her for living on during the next 3 years. At the time the engine was a 15hp Bolinder. In 1951 he set up Waterborne Tours, with the wooden butty MAFEKING, bought from Barlows at Braunston. The butty was sold in 1962, and PRINCE continued as a hotel boat until 1964. She was then moored outside the stables at Audlem bottom lock for retirement of both boat and steerer. Sold by Tom in 1977 for a major re-build. Now based at Malkins Bank, totally rebuilt and fully converted.
