Ex B.W. Maintenance Boat 'Hebble'
52' x 12'6" c1890's  (Water Prince Skipper's Boat)

Additional Comments:
I regret to hear that Hebble owner John died some years ago - after this picture.
Condolences to his widow Jaquie (who has now sold the boat).
I understand that the large windows are now replaced by small portholes - info via David Lowe - ex proprietor of Apollo Canal Cruises.
David is currently still involved with water transport (but cargo - not passengers) both with Humber Barges Ltd:

www.humber-barges.co.uk and his own historic working narrow boat 'Swallow':
http://mbswallow.freehostia.com/ which can be seen on display at events around the country and, often, at the Black Country Living Museum, Dudley.
David's first boat 'Apollo' is now leased to operators at Willowtree Marina on the Paddington Arm of the GU:
