Dowager is not Wendy Ken I'm afraid and I know that for certain. My parents had a boat on the Medway moored next to Wendy Ken and Bert Harper, the owner of Wendy Ken was a family friend. That was back in the early 1970's and Dowager was also on the river at that time too.

I remember Wendy Ken (the names of Berts children) very well and yes she was owned by Bert Harper (a family friend) who owned Silverdale Motor Showrooms in Tunbridge Wells. There is information about her through the Dunkirk Little Ships web site. She has been renamed as Lady Slyvia as a nod to her original name Slyvia and I believe is being restored on the River Trent.
