This vessel was built in 1911 as an oil tankerand named "Carbolate". It was converted to a pleasure boat which could carry 199 passengers (date?). It was based at Stourport operating public and charter cruises on the River Severn as far as Worcester.
When these cruises ceased, it was used as a floating free house pub called The Showman until about 2014.
