It's never too late! All it takes is money. Great shot

Such a beautiful ship, sad to see it deteriorated so badly. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comments.

There are two sad things about this boat for me:

I have travelled on it when it was in service although as I was five years old when it was taken out of service, I don't really remember it.

I have also played on it as a band member when it was a nightclub. At that time there was a window to the engine room in one of the corridors and you could look at all the brass and copper of the engines which were complete and could probably be made to run without too much work. It is now stripped of all of its non-ferrous parts.

During its nightclub lifetime I think it was actually floating but now it would take a new hull to achieve it!
