I presume this is H Alker Tripp’s old boat. As he originally wanted to be an artist before becoming assistant police commissioner in the Met I wonder where his art works ended up? His book illustrations are excellent.

I imagine it is… I asked Ash about it, and he said it wasn’t clear as there seem to have been two barge yachts named ‘Growler’.
