I did this picture to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust. (you can get a copy from my Etsy shop, here). It shows notable places along the canal, and the current fleet operated by the KACT; also, various historic boats and incidents.
So, there's Sir John Knill on working boat Columba
