Indeed, guy was in free marina paper who heads the Cutty Sark saying was not worth even having her floating as would not be origional enough! still with all that cash and PR, you can do what you like. Just been announced the guys with the SS Manxman althoug I know not a coastal forces craft! have run into a brick wall with her, no support from commercial people or local authorities, only hope an American interest! I can only feel for them, great effort but as I said let down by others who could so easily help, makes you wonder why bother sometimes!.

Its like the old Mary Rose argument I guess. Personally I dont find looking at about 45% of what was once the Mary Rose that interesting, its the artefacts that came with it that bring it to life.

There would be a lot of interesting things you could do with a replica, seagoing D Boat.... would be a nice tribute to the guys who sailed in them during the war.

Oh well, time to stop dreaming I guess... I've got a student loan to pay off first

Know the feeling re debts! agree artefacts are what is best with MR, though more of the hull around than I thought till I saw pictures.
