Daniel Adamson (boat)

[1][2][3] The boat was built as a tug-tender in 1903 for the Shropshire Union Canal Company and named the Ralph Brocklebank.

[4] In 1936 it was converted into a luxury passenger vessel and renamed after the first chairman of the Manchester Ship Canal Company, Daniel Adamson.

By 2004 the boat was in disrepair and under threat of being scrapped, a rescue plan was initiated that resulted in a £3 million award from The National Lottery that enabled The Danny to return to service as a cruise boat.

[4] The Danny has been listed on the UK's national register of historic ships.

[4] Since 2017 The Danny has operated as a cruise boat along the Manchester Ship Canal.
