TS Resolute, a work in progress





The pictures posted on 7th November were identified correctly by Steve Band and you should be able to see the results on the comment box for that day. Well done Steve! Steve has had a long association with CYE Sailing Centre and his knowledge of the Chichester Harbour enabled him to come up with the right locations. The picture of the ship being towed in the harbour with Hayling Island in the background may have been the most difficult to identify.

The ship is now moored permanently. The pictures above (all at low tide) show;

Pontoon used to increase safety of temporary mooring during strong winds.

Jetty repair work just commencing

Final mooring system of struts are now in place. Most of the ropes will be removed later, leaving just a few onto the sea wall as additional safety measure.

As you will see, the ship is very much a work in progress on the outside. Interior fitting out was interrupted for the tow and mooring system, but will re-commence next week.
