History

This TYNE tandem canoe was of straightforward construction and as a result many have since been built from DIY kits. This particular canoe was built by K Fletcher in the late 1960’s and was used in and around the Medway area and along the coast. It was presented to NMM by Mr Fletcher in 1985. October 2007
