The Severn Salmon Punt in the Salmonboats Collection is the last remaining one of its kind in working condition. It is a very rare boat and its shape can be traced back to the middleages as this picture shows. We have a sister site making carved signs - for houses, businesses, museums, stables, waymarking etc. Just click on the woodcut to be transferred.
See Long Net Boats page for further information.
