George

George
The short boat George was built in 1910 to carry coal for the Wigan Coal & Iron Company. This is now the sole survivor of the transom-stern boats commonly used on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal. After it finished working on the coal trade in Lancashire the boat was saved for the Boat Museum at Ellesmere Port where it remains after a major rebuild in 2016. This view shows the transom stern as it was in 2003 in the livery of its original owners.
