Hello Mel I don't know why you could not get into the site. I have had a message from someone on the list who has and I have just tried it now and got through successfully to www.silk.net/personal/gordonb/61canalboats.htm I am not surprised you didn't get anywhere with www.silk.net. I found the site by searching at www.google.com, a very good search engine. Try searching "canal boatmen Worcester" (Be warned, there were one or two listings on this page that quite surprised me. Just thought I'd tell you in case you might have any elderly maiden aunts who had led sheltered lives looking over your shoulder). You could also try other locations. Perhaps you will have better luck if you try again. Good luck.
