Built 1909 for Fellows Morton & Clayton at Saltley Dock, Birmingham, a narrowboat of iron composite build. She is currently fitted with a Lister HA2 diesel engine. Following service with Fellows Morton & Clayton she was sold in 1948 to E Thomas. After two more changes of ownership she was lying derelict at Braunston in 1973. In 1976 she was sold to Jenkin Knill, repaired and re-commissioned as a trip and charter boat with 40 seats. At this time she was working in the Bristol and Bath area. She was sold again in 1986 and has subsequently been seen at Canal Cavalcades.
