Bantam IV Tug
The London Canal Museum received this number IV of the Bantam class tug boat in 1994. This boat was completed in 1950 by E. C. Jones and Sons of Brentford, and was used for canal maintenance and in gravel pits. In its later years it worked on the Kennet and Avon Canal. Bantam Tug boats were uniquely designed between 1940 and 1960 to push and not tow barges along the canals.
