There are now over 3,000 images on this website which we have organised into themed galleries. In March 2025 we launched this new search facility to give viewers extra flexibility when trying to find particular images. You are now able to search the descriptions for every image held across all of our galleries.\u00a0<\/span>So, for example, if you are looking for images of a vessel named <\/span>Sarah,<\/strong><\/em> rather than checking all the images and descriptions in the gallery for Motor Barges and then the\u00a0 gallery for Keels and Sloops and then the gallery for Dumb Barges and Lighters, and so on, by simply entering Sarah<\/strong><\/em> as your s<\/span>earch term\u00a0<\/span>our website will do the search for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simply enter the word or words you’re hoping to find in the search box below and press the blue Search Images button. You will then see a selection of images which match your search request. Click on the thumbnail sized picture to see the full image.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your search produces a lot of images you can reduce the numbers by clicking on each of the filter buttons which appear.\u00a0Try searching and we think you will find it easy to use. Good luck!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Image quality<\/span><\/h6>\n

It is important to recognise that we are publishing a collection of photographs which by the time they have found their way into our hands are likely to have been copied multiple times and shared among friends.\u00a0 \u00a0What may have originally been a high quality print from an exceptionally well taken glass plate negative has become an ill defined, too dark or too light, cropped reproduction as individual collectors have applied their own preferences to the image. This means that the images found on our website may not be of the highest quality but we believe that it is better that they are published as seen to enable historians to see what life was like for their watermen ancestors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you recognise a photograph and have a better quality image in your own collection please share it so that we can update the version in our gallery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Publication permission for copyright images<\/span><\/h6>\n

We acknowledge that copyright images are being shown for which no explicit permission to publish has been given to this Society. Many of the digital images shown had originally been produced with the knowledge and permission of the now defunct Yorkshire Waterways Museum from original photographs deposited there for public display.\u00a0 Following the closure of that organisation in 2019 and the break up of their collection those original photographs have disappeared and have effectively been lost to the public.<\/p>\n

Through an incredible stroke of good fortune digital copies of those images were donated to this Society in 2022 allowing our volunteers to finally achieve the wishes of those photographers and collectors who had made the original donations.<\/p>\n

If you are the copyright holder and would like to contact the Society please use the form below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Descriptions<\/span><\/h6>\n

All images held in our galleries are being given descriptions to assist viewers. While we endeavour to ensure that each description is accurate and complete we recognise that mistakes will have been made so you should therefore not rely on our description.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you can add to the published description, please let us know and we\u2019ll make a correction. You can contact us using the form at the bottom of this page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
