Hi Denis,

 

Thanks for the good word mate.

 

The nearest I will get to it Denis for a while is the Barge, all the rigging, masts and boat davits have been removed. The idiot who dropped it tied the masts together with string and must have used a bottle of CA on it, he also got the sails caught up, they are like cardboard now and totally useless.

 

Still that's for the new log.

 

Apart from the barge it's back to the dark side, I'm playing catch up to Grant would you believe. :D  :D  

 

Hopefully my friend I'll see you in the new log.

 

Be Good

Hello Mobbsie,

I am coming into this very late unfortunately. 
As a small collector of a dozen or so vintage Thames Estuary Working Boats (Oyster Smacks, Spritsail Barges and Herring Drifters), I would really like to see your wonderful model Bawley in the flesh, so to speak!

Please could you tell me which Museum she is now in so that I can make a visit. 
Many thanks,

PeterN
