Trouble on't canal

Trouble on't canal
A catastrophe on our Hudderfield Narrow Canal at Uppermill.. This narrow boat had not gone forward enough before letting out all the water in the lock and so the stern (back-end) was left sat on the narrow 'sill' as the front went down with the water level. A very near thing for the boat itself as water could have got into the front here. Some minutes after taking this a 'crane' arrived to lift the boat up/out . The date: Oct 5, 2014

A most interesting sight when we see this but on close reflection -not good for the occupants or other canal users. Glad they got the disable folk out OK.

Take care. Herb
