Good morning all, pleased to see that you have been busy whilst I've been in the land of nod !
Thanks Pantheon for Apres Coup .. I have found the following site which indicates " after the event " so will go with that.

I had initially toyed with moses boat but couldn't find any direct links with Lowell. However, it is a craft that relates to that time period, so will go with it.
Thank you all for "discussion" ... that's me finalised now, but quite happy to help out if required. What a pity there's not a generalist every week!! (S)
