Build Your Own George Dyson

Our friend at the museum, Syd Young, is currently working on a build your own Deans Marine Services barge George Dyson. His next job is to create an instruction sheet that’s easy to follow for the fiddly bits. We’ll let you know when they’re available from Goole Museum.

You can already see the model of the George Dyson built by the barge’s previous owner and donated by John Dean, the current owner, to the museum for the duration of the exhibition.


Here’s the cut-out-and-keep prototype so far. Photo’s by Syd.
