I was going through some old family photos and came across this one taken at Lyme Regis in approx. 1957/58 (?); my sister, Teresa with RSL 1644 in the background....I'm sure she will be suitably embarassed, but it gives a reasonably good (for an old Box Brownie shot, I think!) port quarter view! Anyone have any memories of the boat?

Hi Tim427,
This is another view of RSL 1644 with a couple of friends at Bridlington. What ever happened to her? |

Could be the one your friend northeastuser found in Malta as she was sold out there, webfoot will know more about this class of boat and what happened to her I am sure.

The one pictured is C-20 ex RSL 1654, not Floria ex RSL 1644.

Ahh so there is at least two RSLs’ in Malta. Well if that one is C-20 ex RSL 1654 do you have any idea where in Malta RSL 1644 is/was? Do you have any info as to the current use of C-20? (apart from garden ornament) |

From Philip Simons; Floria ex 1644 was a ferry boat at Mgarr, last sighted there Jan 2004. ex C-20 ex 1654 was sighted at Pieta nautical college in 1993 and 1995, and in the compound at Marsaxlokk in 2003, 04 and 05 (and now 07). |

Is it known if her condition has been stable/has any work been done on her or has she just been left to decay? |
