Glory Hole

One of the reasons for Misterton's dimensions being longer (by 13ft) and lower (by about 1.5 feet) than a Sheffield sized keel is this bridge on the High Street in Lincoln, known locally as the 'glory hole'. She was built to be able to go through this. It looks quite spacious, but I suspect I might think differently if I was trying to get a 60 ton barge through it. Maybe we'll get to try that someday.

After seeing that, there was nothing to do apart from go to a bar.
