Boats at the Festival May 2011 (39 photos)
A simple record to try and show each boat on the water during the festival. It should be pointed out that the only boats to visit this section since the 1920s have been the weedcutter and two trips by Thomas Dadford.
Two More Boats (6 photos)
A quiet day for us to continue with maintenance on Thomas Dadford and to welcome another two boats to the 'Festival Site'.
Repositioning for Trailboat Festival (24 photos)
The moving of Thomas Dadford from its usual berth by Neath Castle to the temporary berth at the festival site at Abegarwed. Took six hours due to the amount of tree pruning required to ensure clear access and visibility for visiting trail boats.

First Full Trip (from barge) (30 photos)
Photo's taken by Peter Rickets MBE, IPCN&TCT during the first trip of the trusts refurbished barge along the newly refurbished section of the Neath Canal. The barge has not been running beyond Tonna recently so that is where the photo's start.
Years End 2010 (18 photos)
The barge is normally taken out of the water each year, being lifted over the bridge in Neath Town Centre. This year due to bridge work the barge was 'sailed' upstream to Aberdulais Basin for removal and the following photographs show this procedure.
