Every issue, NarrowBoat's Famous Fleets feature includes a comprehensive list of boats used by one of the great carrying fleets.
The fleet lists are also available on this website. The lists are updated as new information comes to light and form an invaluable reference. By clicking on a column heading, you can sort the list by name, date, builder, and so on.
The fleet list in the current
issue is not available on line until after publication of the following
issue. Access is restricted to NarrowBoat readers only.
When you select a fleet list you will be asked for a user name and password. You should enter winter as the user name; for the password, please enter the last word from page 35 of the Winter 2011 issue (all in lower case).
