Who are we?
Ruth & Richard Chamberlain ~ ‘live aboard’ boaters since 2009
Chamberlain Carrying Co. was established in 2010, being originally purely a gift shop in the bow of our old butty boat Echoes. We travelled the canal system, during the warmer months selling Ruth’s hand painted traditional ‘Roses & Castles’ canal art giftwares.
Around 2015, we began selling small amounts of prepacked solid fuels during the winter, whilst the gift shop was packed away.
Demand grew, until the summer of 2017, when the opportunity arose to buy historic Admiral Class narrowboats Mountbatten & Jellicoe.
In 2022, we completed the set of 4 Admiral class boats by buying Lindsay and Keppel. All 4 being ordered and built around 1959/60 at Yarwood’s Boatyard on the river Weaver.
Today, we operate Lindsay and Mountbatten motor boats as fully fitted out fuelboats.
We mainly cover the Llangollen and Shropshire Union Canals.
We utilise the canal network to carry goods for other companies occasionally, whilst still maintaining a regular fuel delivery service up and down the canals.
We are the new licensees of the Chandlers located at Venetian Marina, on the Middlewich Branch, so call in if you are passing by!
