Know of some projects that have used boats as a means to explore an area and its heritage like this one on the waterways of the Lea Valley and Olympic Park in east London http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13527258.2011.643911
Not really about the boat itself however, but a good paper and film.

Also Iain Sinclair's infamous Swandown film for a psychogeopraphic 'odyssey' on the same subject http://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/jul/18/swandown-iain-sinclair-andrew-kotting
Cheers,

Hi all,
 
Is anyone aware of any research that has been done, or is being done, in the archaeology/anthropology/heritage studies of contemporary boating?  I am planning a project focusing on the material culture aspects and practices surrounding boating and its relationship to heritage.
 
Thanks in advance for any ideas, or advice!
 
Mirja
