I believe i've got the explanation as to why i can barely recollect that boat.

In the mid-50s i used to cycle by it on a regular 5 working days a week basis for several months- quickly. This was because my mind was fixed on the clocking in clock at Burnhams factory at New Eastwood.
I doubt if i gave it more than a swift cursory glance on some occasions as i passed by it and so it was relegated to the realm of the un-interesting in my work-a-day mind and consequently, there it stayed.
Usually, anything connected to the past does draw my attention quickly, but that time......my obvious loss.

IF the history of that boat is ever known/located, it should make interesting reading?

What do you mean - "a bit younger than us"?
Robert, have you never heard of 'Time Travel'? Not a lot of people know that.
