    Great news if it does happen. Will be costly to repair, but like the railways, it is a significant part of Britain's heritage.

    It will be costly to move as well; I doubt that anything other than a dry tow or heavy lift vessel would be survivable.

    Expensive indeed! It would be wonderful to secure her future and I wish the project well.

    Fascinating history!
