Not so much a boat, more a motorised pontoon being moved!

The TS Queen Mary was built in 1933 and was affectionately called "The Glasgow Boat", having sailed daily from Broomielaw.
Substantial work is needed before the TS Queen Mary can sail, including replacing the engine.
It is hoped it will be back in service by the summer of 2024.
Once known as Britain's finest pleasure steamer, it formerly carried about 13,000 passengers per week.

One of the passenger ferries traversing the Floating Harbour in Bristol.
Can you spot Grommit? (you will need to zoom in in Flickr).
