Was this in the 80's? Did she disappear from the creek, towed away by an ancient lighterage tug named 'Sheen'?
Because I think we 'rescued' her, and, in tandem with a British Powerboat Company Air Sea Rescue Launch named 'Thais', towed her up the river to Nine Elms.
The DD mahogany goes brittle with age and sad to say, they are no more, AFAIK.
Sheen's still afloat and running..just..

Thank you for the reply I cannot remember the year but I believe it was before the 80s as I do not think there could be more than one MTB in the creek .
