These boats are working on the maintenance on a canal lock at Birstall, near Leicester . They can carry workers, plant and materials, such as diggers and scaffolding. Each one has a name painted on the side. It got me thinking how rarely this happens. There is the exception of Eddie Stobart Lorries. Freight transport is not usually named. Cranes, diggers and road rollers are the same. I remember when trains were named.
This was, in my opinion, a charming tradition. It showed that the people who made them cared about their work and were proud of the final product.
This in turn leads me to be thankful that God cares about the world he has created and how he got Adam to name the animals:- His way of entrusting the care of His creation to us. I wonder how proud He is of the way we are looking after it now?
