Honey, I shrunk the boat! It's rare that you see a boat on the canal quite as mini as this one. I couldn't tell if it was used as living accommodation or simply as a day boat, although it is privately owned. You'd have to be super-organised inside but it looks - to me - a lot more manageable than the usual narrowboats, which can be anything up to 72 feet long (although the locks on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal will only hold a boat up to 62 feet long). I like its bright colours, though it was a bit on the tatty side compared to some. This is the bow end you're looking at, rather more bathtub than bow shaped, perhaps! I enjoy seeing all the amazing variations of craft on the water; it makes my walks very interesting.
That is adorable!!! Looks like the main character of a children's book.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, it does! It was called "Pipit", which would be a good title, I guess.
DeleteIt would be fun to see the interior.
ReplyDeleteGreat little boat...and these days that might even be considered an option to tiny house living. It sure is tiny!
ReplyDeleteVery colourful.
