Richard,

The image just amused me, so I took it :-)

You can see all that there was to see. The boat is cut about half way along 
its 
length. The cut is at the limit of what you can see of the boat on the right 
- 
there was no more...

It was on a plinth which was a flat square slightly raised from the 
surroundings.

Really what you see is what there was to see...I actually moved in quite 
close 
to it in order to get rid of the spare walls, pipes etc around it.

Absolutely no idea about the front half, sorry! I think that there simply 
wasn't 
the room and so...

Thanks for looking and for the comments.

Peter
