Photo taken in the 1960's of a man who was once the skipper of the L&L short boat Mary Jane.

At the top lock he joined us with a good model of his boat which he had made.

Does anyone know his name or other info?

This is a photo of my great uncle Peter. The boat was indeed a wedding present for his mother and father.His mothers name was also Mary Jane as was mine named after her Grandmother.He left a great legacy in that all the Odes left in Wigan are related to him!
