The former 'Spirit of the Age' (bow shot)

Speaking to the owner earlier this year, he explained that he built the boat to be used primarily as an ice breaker. Using a powerful diesel engine, the rounded bow smashes into the ice, whereas a conventional bow would ride up over it. See SE3522 : Narrowboat 'Spirit of the Age'
