I wonder what will become of this splendid old ship?

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

How they got this ship so high out of the water is baffling!

I understand that they waited for a spring high tide and then ran it at high speed to where it is now and then encased it in concrete.

Cleaning out our display cabinet I found this little interesting plate of the Duke of Lancaster……..We probably picked it up at a flea market somewhere in the murky past
