    Another important part of our maritime heritage is reported to be in trouble. I do hope a solution can be found for this old girl.

    It would seem to be a better prospect for continued preservation than some of the shipwrecks proposed on here in recent times. She appears to be a younger version of 'Daniel Adamson' & has the benefit of still being afloat & of not being too big to berth in a small harbour somewhere.

    I took this shot of the Calshot on 4th August 2019 (from the QM2).
