I think this is called Balhalla, but someone said it wasn't a 'B' but a 'W' so I am not sure. I don't often see boats that send me weak at the knees, but I thought this one was particularly spesh as it lay in Abingdon over the weekend:
It just holds so much mystery.
I am sure that you liked the flag with the skull and crossbones on the 'mast'. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with 'someone' that the B is probably a W and much less probably a V in a "Black Letter".
Surely Valhalla would make more sense?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it is Valhalla. I was moored behind him at Crick 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI believe it's Walhalla, which is the German spelling of Valhalla. His home mooring is Stockton Top. I think the boat was also featured on WaterWorld.
ReplyDeleteBrian - I did!
ReplyDeleteI will have to look on waterworld and see if I can see the boat. I think it is absolutely beautiful. My knees still feel rather weak!
Hi Bones
ReplyDeleteI'm just writing a Canal Boat review of Valhalla's replacement -- a widebeam called Walhalla. A photo of the original boat would be useful, and an internet search reveals that yours are the best around! Would you mind if I lifted them?

I will look forward to reading it! Do use the pictures.
