Having,for a long time(I still have my two editions of ABC British Tugs circa 1960!)had an interest in small steam tugs I was just wondering about membership of the STKPSL,is it available yet?.
Keep up the good work with Kerne and her website.

Hi Jimmy.
Interesting to hear from you, keep an eye on the website and hopefully you can get down to the boat on one of the days she is open for the public.
She often gets to Acton Bridge in Cheshire on the first weekend in October but check for details on the website closer to then.
Cheers

Hello.
I'm afraid that we aren't very well off for plans of the either the vessel or its engine. About 5 years ago, a Mr George Barrett built a beautiful model. At the time, he was quite well known in the model boating circles of the North West so might be traceable through that method.
Sorry we can't be more helpful.
Best Regards.

Hi Lorna.
There are marirme websites you could try that might give you a bit more help than we could, Try Tugtalk maybe or www.shipsnostalgia.com the latter one s a site with over 30000 users so there might be a better chance there. If you had the name of the tug it would be very helpful as a lot of firms tended to use a particular style or theme for their vessel's names. You might then be able to trace the company through local sources.
Good Luck.

Thanks to all those involved in bringing Kerne to the Leigh Arms Steam Fayre this year, and many thanks for your custom. I'm sure Bob and the crew will assist in making it 1000 pints next year!
Regards, All at the Leigh.

Hi. Sorry about that - I have changed my PC recently and re-catalogued all my photos. However, I have rediscovered your photo and it is now back, in the Historic Archive Gallery.
Thanks for letting us know

If you chaps spent less time drinking tea on the Daniel Adamson, the Kerne would be ready for her next outing!! Seriously, though, my friend and I can't wait to book another trip - the one down the Ship Canal last year was absolutely brilliant. Keep up the great work - see you soon.
