  • Hot and cold running water
  • 240 volt mains electricity
  • PA and Music system - MP3 and iPod connection

 Specifications

  • Hydraulically lifting wheelhouse allows skippers to pass beneath low bridges, especially Prince street yet provides the skipper with a great vantage point from which to helm her
  • Licensed to operate between Pultney Weir and Avonmouth Pier Head
  • Steel hull finished with fibreglass
  • 16.96 tonnes
  • Kubota V3300 - E engine
  • Second engine generates 240 volt power
  • Hydraulic drive system allows drive engine to be positioned off centre for better weight distribution and excellent use of space.

 History

  • Built in Bristol Floating Harbour and launched in 2006
  • Brigantia's design was an evolution on the plans drawn up for her sister ship Matilda 10 years previously
  • Brigantia was the Celtic Goddess of Blacksmiths, a powerful mythical figure who watched over smithies of the ancient world - we honour the memory of Tom 'Will the Blacksmith' Williams with her name
  • The ancient Roman Town of Brigantia known today as La Corunna is the site of the oldest working lighthouse in the world and the light on the tower of Hercules - 1900 years old – still safely guides shipping off the coast of Northern Spain
