History
A general working boat also used for fishing in Cambridgeshire. The construction of these vessels was highly individual to the type, with a plank keel to which the two end posts were scarfed. The hollow slightly rockered bottom was designed to prevent the punt adhering to mud when left aground. She was presented to NMM by Mr A E Pike of the British Sugar Corporation in 1956. October 2007
