History
This two-man punt with its sophisticated horse drawn carriage, built about 1900, was given by Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey to the Hon. Frederick Wynn in 1907 for shooting duck on the mud flats of Foryd Bay, Caernarfonshire, near Belan Fort, overlooking the Menai Straits. It was presented to the Merseyside Maritime Museum by Lord Newborough in 1986. October 2007. Revised 06/11/2012
