History
Offered for free transfer by NMM 2015. An example of a working punt mainly used for collecting reed and clearing weeds from rivers and drainage ditches. They were also extensively used for long net salmon fishing as they provided an ideal stable platform to work with adequate stowage. These craft were normally propelled with a large quant.
