BOATMAN’S
BACK CABINS
(Fitted to
Holly,
Willow,
Maple
&
Larch)
These are authentic replicas of the
living accommodation of the old working
craft and we were the first company to
incorporate them into modern hire boats.
Stepping down from the steerer's
‘counter’ on to the coal box, you enter
a snug, private world finished in the
correct wood graining with hand
decorated panels featuring the
traditional roses and castles. There is
a small solid fuel stove on your left
for heating or cooking, then the
decorated drop down table cupboard with
crumb drawer below and on the right the
sidebed or settee. Ahead is the double
‘cross’ bed which folds out across the
boat with decorated flap, then the door
leading to the rest of the boat.
On ‘Willow’ and ‘Maple’ there are also
traditional engine controls- separate
gear change rod and throttle speedwheel
- to complete the picture. |
