Spending 28 years restoring a boat may not be everyone’s sense of fun, but for James Muggoch it’s a totally different story, especially when the boat in question is the last surviving first world war tug-boat.

The film, which is part of the Londoners on the Thames series in conjunction with Totally Thames, takes place on James’s tug-boat which is situated in Brentford and is known as the ‘Cob’.

From rigging the deck to testing the boat’s engine we get to see the inner workings of the boat which has become life-changing for James and his family. So much so that his youngest daughter had part of her wedding ceremony on the tug-boat. James who has lived on the Thames for most of his life also reflects on the changes within the boating community.
