History
MEDWAY PRINCESS was built in 1946 and was one of a batch of 8 RAF Refuellers built by Pollocks in late 1942/1943, and sent to Dumbarton. The original engine was a Twin Scammell, each of 54 BHP.
The vessel was converted from a naval craft to a houseboat and is almost refurbished outside having had all of the steel work treated and painted.
