Saturn is a unique
canal narrowboat. She is the last horse-drawn Shropshire Union Canal
Fly-boat in the World – originally built to travel non-stop, day and
night, carrying perishable goods. Over 100 years old, she has been
fully restored to her former glory; not only to preserve her for
posterity but to educate present and future generations about our
waterways, narrowboats and horse-boating. |

Saturn gets her first docking since restoration in
the historic Ellesmere Shropshire Union dry dock and
then is filmed for BBC Victorian life series.
