Kingmaker2 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 A real shame, but I'm sure it will be restored eventually to much fanfare and probably much public support and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAIRBOY Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 There were no gas cylinders on board after all, according to the Beeb report I read. I subsequently heard that but it was the Beeb who'd said there were initially. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6675381.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhippy Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The main thing for me is that (as I recall), it's the only tea clipper left in existence.
