Anyone know anything about the Massey Shaw, the old River Thames fire boat?
Plans, drawing or photos in particular...

Not that much out there Martin. Most of the stuff is copyright to the National Maritime Museum or the London Fire Brigade.
There is a web site  http://www.masseyshaw.org  but thats being rebuilt.
Channel 4 did one of their Salvage Squad programmes about it, but the photos aren't great.  :embarrassed:
