Description

Greenlaw started life as a working boat in the Grand Union Canal
Carrying Co fleet, numbered 145, she is a Big Woolwich motor boat
named after a small town in the Scottish Borders. Registered at
Rickmansworth No 157 with GU Gauging No 12738, boatman Tom
Jackson steered her from 1944-1957, mainly paired with butty
Bedworth. Greenlaw was converted for pleasure boat use by
Warwickshire Fly Boats with her steel cabin being fitted along with a rebuilt Lister JP2M, which started life as a Guernsey pilot boat engine.
Accommodation onboard is extremely spacious. Forward of the
authentic Boatman’s cabin and engine room, the fit-out has many
modern creature comforts, such as a full size washing machine, fridge,
separate freezer, microwave and gas cooker in the attractive galley
complete with Belfast sink. The cosy saloon has one of the two solid
fuel ranges installed to keep the boat warm, with a diesel fired central
heating boiler supplying radiators through the cabin. Significant recent
upgrades include 1,200W of solar on the roof, along with lithium
batteries and a superstructure re-paint. This is your chance to own a
truly beautiful narrowboat, with a piece of history too.
