    Paddle Tug Restoration John H Amos

    I saw that they finally managed to lift the John H Amos onto a floating pontoon to allow the Tug to be ferried to a berth at the Chatham Dockyard!

    It's great to see something happening finally as the Tug has been rotting away - it rightfully needs to be preserved!

      I agree mate there seems a never ending supply of lottery money for historic buildings and look how many there are

      But for historic Transport projects its very poor BlueBird is a prime example

              Saw that paddle-wheeler...

              While going up to London to Salute 08, saw this strange sight, tied up next to Rochester rail station...

              -sorry, tried to add some pics I took from the train; but the 'manage atatchments' button now ignores me.

                  Another attempt

                  Hopefully, the pictures of the Amos will attatch this time...
