But what is this? Has IYC attacked another old war hero? Rest easy FCB lovers, this is not 5.22 all over again; these injuries were actually sustained shoring up the riverbank at Poulton (see barge graveyard in 'bargespotting'). When she was decommissioned from London's Inland Waterways service in 1970, she joined the other heroic shoring barges.
For three decades she was lodged in the mud, until the Waterways Museum painstakingly excavated the vessel and floated her up to Gloucester, where she is now the pride of the town and a treasure for the nation.
