Passing Stockholm

You don't see many wheelhouses like this anymore, though the Feasible, currently in Penzance wet dock is not dissimilar......
local yacht Louby passes by this unusual looking ship anchored just off Mousehole Island, the Stockholm, normally found crusing the Baltic regions, provides a base for the expedition company Origo Expedition.......
over in Penzance, and watched by harbourmaster Neil Clark,a tug being is manouvered, carfeully into the dry dock, it appears that many hands and hard hats make light work.....
a fleet of returning punts is passed by the Stockholm's zodiac tender......
as they pass St Clement's, as Mousehole Island is officially named......
during an assissted docking, the skipper of the 110 foot Belgian beamer, Vertouwen, didn't endear himself to the harbour staff this morning when his engineer shut down the main engine before she reached her berth......
the slip has a passenger for the first time in over a week.
