Mystery Launch 15/10

LADY JOAN

photo ex Dave Jackson

Having a few blokes in the photo should help with ID’ing this launch. Given the wooden cask (water??) on deck it most likely is during an extended summer cruise. The wharf certainly is not OHS compliant.

I don’t know what she is but guess that she’s Collings & Bell c1914-22, maybe even Leon Warne of the same period.

  1. Thank heavens she now has a name – nobody could have told Stan Headland about her — he might have added a “II” to his LADY JOAN, if he had known???? — KEN RICKETTS

  2. But is this JOAN or LADY JOAN? And isn’t it the JOAN that was burnt out at Baileys c1953 which Joe Lobley replaced with the Bailey-built SHONA which was later owned by Jim Taylor?

  7. She’s got me stumped, Harold, but I think you’re as likely to be right as anyone, & I concur with your thoughts — wonder it was taken — might give a clue?
