1946 Boat Show ?

[dabbling duck]

I am doing a little research on my small boat, which is said to have been at the 1946 Boat Show. I am told that, as it was the year after war ended, there was no Motor Show (no cars) and few boats, so the two were merged. However, I can find no reference to the event on the web.

If anyone knows if it took place, (Olympia ?) or has any records of exhibits, I would be very interested to hear .

The small boat in question is a Brooke Marine 18 ' - built in Lowestoft.

Many Thanks

Don't you mean Show Boat? It was on Broadway in 1946.

thanks for your helpful suggestion. I missed the show.

Boat Show

I know I went to the 1946 Boat Show because it was the first after the war but I was only seven and have no detailed memory. Until recently I went every year.

I've just had a look through the 1946 MB & Y's, and the only reference I found was a note there was insufficient interest and it was hoped to do one in 1947.

At last the 1948 Boat Show

A bit of thread drift, but you could have bought this for £1750 at the 1948 Boat Show.

She is an ARC Marine Everyman, and by a bit of deducing we believe she is "Deben Rover", seen here at Whitsun outside my own boat

(BTW, thanks to VicS for helping me resolve my photo posting problems this afternoon)

Handsome pair.
About the same price as a small detached 3 bedroom house my parents had built that year, so not a small price - but more fun than a house.

A very handsome pair, as the bishop said to the actress
