Extraordinary Ship Raise At The Kew Cut
London reports recount an audacious early attempt to float a 100 ton ship up the Kew Cut toward the Keys. A forepeak load of 100 tons, aided by eight wine pipes, and three flat-bottom boats under the stern to counterbalance, enabled movement two miles in three days. A further scheme used sluice walls to raise river water, bringing the vessel within yards of the Keys before the craft was emptied and moored. Critics warn the old river suffered neglect, while water levels in the new river remained shallow.
