THE Canal & River Trust is hosting an art installation 'Crossings' on the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal and asks boaters to take care when in the area.
The installation is by Luke Jerram and is in Gloucester Docks during August and early September, and there will be a small number of wooden rowing boats on the water in the Main Dock, Barge Arm, Victoria Basin and canal navigation as far as High Orchard Bridge.
Not experienced
Rowers will be members of the public and will not be experienced at manoeuvring craft on the water and also participants will be listening to audio at the same time, so boaters are asked to proceed with care and follow the guidance of the bridge and lock keepers in the case of incidents.
The navigation Llanthony Bridge to Gloucester Lock will remain open at usual.
