I did a search on the forum to see if this had been mentioned, but I can't find any reference.
Someone please save Golden Galleon! |

What an absolute crying shame. I don't understand how someone can do that. Ok, it may not have been in great condition, but she was still floating on her how keel. Why couldn't they have given her to someone who would have saved her?

£1000s of pounds of overdue broads tolls, fear of her breaking up on route to a boatyard for repair etc etc
basically rubbish but, whats gone is gone |

Still worth saving. Well.. I think so. But then the Fairmiles are probably my favourite boat.

But it'd have still been cheaper to build a replica.

Not the point. The replica didn't fight for King and country, smuggling agents into occupied France, or single handed chase down a U-Boat tyring to sink a packed troop ship.

Despite
efforts to save her, she was deemed a potentional navigation
hazard and was scrapped a couple of months after the images below
were taken.
