Images from the Past

Photographs of a Cruise (a tow by Artic Warrior) from Beverley Beck to Bethell's Bridge of Carpet Bagger by Artic Warrior on 30th July 1988. Carpet Bagger was Jeff Browns Boat and Artic Warrior was Sue & Bob Websters Boat. Carpet Bagger had a petrol engine, it was found once the boat was in the water that the engine would not start. The problem being a set of broken contact breaker points. No spares being available a tow was the only way to get the boat to Bethell's Bridge. Some of the pictures are shown below.
