Middle Northwich Boats...
Taygeta & Triagulum...
Taygeta was built with the fleet number 89, she was registered in Birmingham
number 1587 on the 19th June 1936. She was originally paired with Triagulum and
entered the fleet in April 1936. She was renamed Severn Dolphin and from 1958
she was worked by John Jinks for British Waterways. Severn Dolphin was used as a
mud hopper on the BCN in the early seventies, and then as a maintenance boat on
the River Weaver. In the 1990s she was leased privately by BW and renamed
Taygeta.
Triagulum was registered in Birmingham number 1586. She was refurbished and
re-entered service on the 4th August 1956 when she was sold to Willow Wren for
£500 and was renamed Kestrel. By 1968 she was still owned by Willow Wren but
wasn't in use. Triagulum is now moored on the Kennet and Avon Canal, has an
undercloth conversion and is named Kestrel.
