Re. folding boats. There is a brochure in the AR collection at Abbot Hall which illustrates a particular type of folding boat, which AR used for his illustration in GN.
Jim Andrews has a copy of this information and will post it to you tomorrow 05.08.98.
Hope it will be of use. There might be more information at Abbot Hall. You could ring Gillian Riding, the Museum Assistant, to ask if she has anything further.
