Found with a bundle of correspondence between David MacGregor and John H. Scholes, Curator of Historical Relics at the British Transport Commission, relating to the taking of lines from the Weaver flat canal boat, "Duchess Countess" before it is broken up. The bundle includes letters between the two making arrangements for work and payment, and a page of hand-written notes from MacGregor's research into the history of the vessell.
