It's a good question Richard and one that would bear some researching. A number of the boatyards that operated
in AR's day are still in existence, as is of course Roys of Wroxham, and careful perusal of their records should
yield the answer you are after.

What we really need is for some kindly soul to endow a Chair in 'Arthur Ransome Studies'. The Universities
of East Anglia or Lancaster would be fitting recipients of such a bequest, as would the University of Leeds
where much of AR's papers are.

I couldn't help but chuckle at your indirect reference to the Welsh Highland Railway in your post given that
I had referred to it in a similar devious manner in my post 31779, which is almost on the bottom of the board.

TarBoard's new moderators, may be interested in reading my second paragraph.
