TRANQUILITY IS A SELF MANAGED SHARE BOAT

At 58 feet length, TQ (as we call her) is a steel hull narrow boat built by Colecraft and fitted out by Elton Moss Boatbuilders. Currently based at Aqueduct Marina in Cheshire we're able to cruise some of the most popular waterways in Britain. The Shropshire Union, The Trent and Mersey, The Llangollen Canal, The Four Counties Ring and Cheshire Ring and more.

Our friendly Syndicate decided to go down the Self Management route on 1st March 2012 and so far it has been very successful. Please visit the other pages in this blog to see the new Web Site and if shares are available for sale. (There'll not be many).

A potted history on the Shropshire Union Canal.

This brings both my passions together, canals and aviation.
Last night we moored between Bridges 21 and 22. There is a WWll aerodrome nearby where 495 Fighter Training Group were based. On 4 July 1944, a P-47 Thunderbolt 41-6538 crashed. Luckily the pilot survived. There's more information here:-  http://aircrashsites.co.uk/usaaf-crash-sites-1942-1945/a1/

Narrowboat Duke coming through.
The crash site is in the recess in the hedgerow, centre of the photo, Bridge 21 in the background.
