History
This single Thames rowing skiff is believed to have been built by Messums of Richmond, Surrey in the mid 1920’s. AMELIA, possibly not her original name, was unused for forty years before being restored by Roger Hardy in the mid 1990’s. She was bought by her present owner in 1999 and is in excellent condition on the Thames at Henley. October 2008
