Fianl resting place.

There's always one wag about it seems......

check out the boat with no masts......
which are on the dock side and ready to be dropped into place.....
the new-look Scillonian III has raised eyebrows in some quarters, gone is the familiar clotted cream coloured funnel with its St Piran's flag, instead the ship is sporting the new corporate logo - a mix of patriotic red, white and blue, British International Helicopters with a Brittany ferries twist......
one new bike complete with L plates ready to be hoisted aboard......
a chance for employment and a foot in the door of England's premier fishing port.......
having left Liverpool at 10am Friday, Wincat 24 makes it in through the gaps for fuel exactly 24 hours later after traveling around 340 miles......
patriarch of the firm, Billy Stevenson points out some damage on the Anthony's rail to Brian and Lionel after she fell in on the quay......

though as anyone who sailed her will tell you, she rolled more than most; originally named MFV 1024 the Anthony was sailed back to Plymouth with, amongst others Lenny Dew before becoming one of Newlyn's top sidewinders of her day.
