Operation Longboat - The Film

During 2010 the volunteers of Docklands Canal Boat Trust embarked on Operation Longboat in an attempt to modernise our Community River Boat.
The Short film takes us through the year when we created a new day room, started a complete painting programme, dry docked the boat to replace the prop & prop shaft and our mammoth battle to break out of the dry dock into the frozen River Lee.

A Year on the River with Challenge in 2010

This short film clip depicts the fantastic year we have had on Challenge.
During 2010 over 900 passengers with special needs experienced a day trip or holiday on our historic vessel.
The volunteers of DCBT provided over 2000 hours of their time to keep the boat operational.
