Thank you Lynette

glad the owner getting his boat back. Good luck with the restoration.

Deja vu for me...I had a 60ft wooden narrowboat in 1986 which decided to break mooring and sink right in the Middle of the Grand Union well below the hull line so it couldnt be pumped out. British Waterways had a dredger nearby which came along and broke it up. I was then invoices for £1,700 which was about half my then salary and took me about 3 years to pay off. I only discovered the boat was uninsurable having bought it! Not to be put off i bought a new Liverpool Boats 40ft shell and fitted that out with some of the bits I salvaged such as the windows and Lister engine.

We need more people like you , the British way of doing things all helping out.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💙✅👍

How very sad for the gentleman who’s boat it is, hope he can get it repaired and resume his life on the water, fantastic recovery xx

It’s good to see they are able to get the boat upright. However I think the canals are so poorly maintained they want serious dredging boats are often going aground because there is no depth to them.

I lost my boat in the Holyhead marina disaster. It was raised after 3 months on the sea bed but was a total loss. I then moved onto my narrowboat on the River Weaver, but after 2 record breaking floods that nearly destroyed the marina I was at, I vowed to never moor on tidal waters or a river in winter time again. it's just not worth the risk and heartache. Some say this boat is a right off, but I know plenty of boats that have been restored after such disasters. It just takes time and money.

Each time the winch was repositioned and lines attached took around half hour, sounds long but a lot of this was done by boat, I did think myself it would be just a few hours.

It is good to see this narrow boat has been recovered. Though should this incident have got so bad in the first place, when this narrow boat When it first broke lose from its mooring because of fast flowing and raising flood water, then taken by the high flood water up onto and against the bridge. If the emergency services and canal authorities, had acted sooner to save and recover this narrow boat, while it was still upright. Not wait so long for the flood water to started dropping, which caused this narrow boat to capsize and sink plus be in the damaged state it is now in too. Though it is very good to see public donations, towards the price of recovering this narrow boat, to help the owner, is lovely to see this level of kindness. Lastly good reporting on your KZread Video channel, over this incident, clearly has help no end, well done to yourself too.
