I name this ship...


What would you call your boat if you had one? The names I notice on narrowboats often amuse me. This was a selection that I spotted just in the course of one walk, along a stretch of the Leeds-Liverpool Canal towpath near Skipton.

    Friends of mine had a canoe named "Slop-along Placidly".

    Great sense of humour in some of these names!

    A very wealthy owner of a drugstore (pharmacy) chain in Florida had a VERY large powerboat called TICA - which stood for This I Can't Afford.
