'Sweet Myrrh' nominated in the Classic Boat Awards 2019

'Sweet Myrrh' is a fine example of a launch built around 1912 by Sam Saunders using the unique 'Consuta' method of construction. After undergoing an extensive re-fit at Henwood & Dean's workshop in 2018, she went on to win two trophies at the Thames Traditional Boat Festival - the Fred & Sheila Bourne Trophy for 'Best Boat in Show' and the Thames Heritage Cup for 'General Traditional Appearance'.

'Sweet Myrrh' was nominated for the 2019 Classic Boat Awards in the 'Restored Powered Vessel under 40ft' category.
