Neither of these last two look right to me, it's as if the boat is going up or down hill! Given that I was on the opposite side of the canal and at an angle to the boat how should I straighten the image?

Any advice would be welcome.

Hi Howard, sometimes small optical triggers can produce 'illusions' of tilt in your perception of a photo and this may be so in these. The red boat is easiest, look at the angle of the house in the background and adjust in your crop/rotation tool until it is more vertical, The blue one is not far off and you can do an eyeball rotation using the light coloured tree trunk in the centre to improve the very slight slope.
 

"Calshot Spit", Southampton - 21 Sep 2019 by Cliff Jones, on Flickr

The ship, which was known as Light Vessel 78 (LV78), was built in 1914 and is a rare surviving example of a riveted iron-plated ship. It was originally moored at Calshot Spit, where it acted as a floating lighthouse at the entrance to Southampton Water, guiding flying boats into their terminals and warning ships of sandbanks. In December 2019 the ship was relocated to the Solent Sky Museum under plans for it to be converted into part of the museum's café.
