The Kenya Jacaranda, a rare example of a former sailing trawler, arrived at the Gravesend Canal Basin (The Embankment Marina) yesterday. She fitted through the lock with little to spare (as can be seen in the picture).
A former Brixham Trawler, built in 1923, she is now used for sail training for underprivileged young people. There is more information about her here
