Thames_Barges : Message: Looking for info on Alfred Danikel andSon barge

I am looking for the correct name and any information on a specific
barge owned by Alfred Daniel and Son of Whistable. I have some but not
all of the letters of the name of this barge. The specific name
is "Grain--ppieps." Do you know the correct name? Any information about
this? Thanks very much. Dave Schwain
