That's EMILY ANNE - crewed by three generations of the same family 
(usually grandfather and grandson)! She travels the system extensively 
(if slowly) and was at the National, having travelled down the GU.

I did from Braunston to Buckby with her, and like most steamers, she is 
a bit underpowered, but unlike most steamers, the engine is controlled 
from the steering position so if you can communicate with the steerer 
you may be able to get past!
