Amazing Venue with Houseboat Potential - Rochester Queen
Description✓Premier Houseboats are pleased to present the Rochester Queen, an ex event venue boat, that could be put back to being a venue with a relatively small amount of updating, or converted to create an amazing houseboat
✓This incredible opportunity now comes on a secure residential mooring.
✓Rochester Queen offers incredible space over three levels, the top two levels have an incredible amount of light due to the many windows, and there is also excellent headroom on all three levels
✓There are three bars, and an industrial kitchen capable of catering for the large gatherings The Rochester Queen was used to hosting.
✓There is a heating system in place however a new boiler will be needed
✓Externally there are three outside deck areas where you can enjoy your surroundings in comfort wherever you are moored
✓The Rochester Queen is an impressive looking vessel
✓Although no longer able to cruise, as a static vessel on the right mooring she could be an excellent business opportunity
✓Converted to a houseboat she could be a stunning, spacious and unique property.
✓Opportunities to purchase a historic vessel such as The Rochester Queen come up very rarely, and viewing to appreciate the space available, whether as a houseboat or as a venue, is recommended.
✓She is on the historic ships register, below is a brief history :
✓In 1935, a formidable competitor to Royal Lady arrived in the form of the Coronia [1], built by Warren's New Holland Shipyard on the Humber Estuary
✓Although of similar layout to the 1934 Royal Lady, she only had one funnel, which was positioned too far aft for symmetry
✓Coronia [1] was owned by Jack Ellis, and her original livery was a yacht-like white, later with a pale yellow funnel
✓She had a gross tonnage of 227 and an overall length of 130 ft, and carried 475 passengers on a Class 3 Certificate
✓Her engines were supplied by the National Gas & Oil Company of Ashton-under-Lyne, a company not normally associated with marine installations
✓She was capable of 13.5 knots, a lot faster than her initial competitor Royal Lady
✓In 1937, Coronia [1] reappeared with two funnels like her competitor
✓These were initially pale [yellow?] in colour, but later became red with a black top
✓In 1938 she had a more equal competitor in the New Royal Lady, which matched her is size and speed
✓However, in pre-war years there was more than enough custom for two such fine vessels.
