Achernar

Originally paired with motor no 203, Actis.

Passed to BW on nationalisation, by 1965 was a maintenance boat on North Oxford & Coventry Canals, latterly carrying a name plate ACHENAR (which may simply have been an error in making the plate). 

(HNBOC records this boat in 1981 as 60ft maintenance boat with the bow cut off, but a photograph taken shortly after sale by BW, with part under-cloth conversion added, shows the original bow clearly.)

Currently a bare hull in the process of prolonged restoration.
