History
There is some uncertainty about this vessel: it remains to be established whether it is an RAF sea plane tender or a naval pinnace.
Update, March 2021: Reported by River Canal Rescue organisation that LADY DORIS was sunk at her moorings and is being raised this month, after which she will be removed to Redhill Marina in Nottingham. They will then be seeking someone to take her on as a restoration project.
LADY DORIS was offered for sale in June 2021 and it seems she was under new ownership and being restored in 2022, but there has been no further news since.
