Great pics, so sad. Went on loads in the 70s and 80s. Even remember Billy Butler's Mersey pirate Saturday morning kids show broadcast from her.

spoke to the owner last year, theres no engines or motors and the hulls leaking below the waterline, hes trying to arrange moving her to drydock by putting a few hundred gallons of hot pitch in her at low tide when it empties out, but rich folk and their lofty plans and all that
