An exciting development regarding the 'Burnham Titanic'.

It sounds as if, at long last, a genuine buyer (in this case a seriously rich businessman), has agreed to buy the 'Llys Helig'.

I really look forward to welcoming her back to Burnham, once she is restored (in 2022 is the plan).

Great news.

Will be good to see it go and then come back transformed.

Fair play to the guy. He’ll need deep pockets but it sounds like he has them, along with a lot of respect for the history of the vessel. Hope it all pans out.

That is another month gone, has anything happened?

Sadly not, David.

All sorts of rumours flying around, but my optimism is waning.

Not been to Burnham recently, but has this been moved yet?

We had a few days in Burnham and Fambridge in September and there were no developments then!

I sailed past back from Fambridge to Great Wakering, a couple of weeks ago and no developments then.

I think there's a rather long-running discussion between Burnham Harbour and Maldon Council as to who is going to pay for sorting it.

It was still there last week.

That's great news. A pleasant change too that a man with clearly heartfelt ambitions has a bank account to go with them.

Sadly, it seems I was premature with my optimism.

She's still there, on her side, seemingly totally ignored.

I've not heard any rumours for a few months now.

Some locals think she should stay there: she certainly does attract a lot of interest amongst visitors.

I'm expecting that the conservationists will discover a rare worm, which mustn't be disturbed, lives in her so she will have to stay.
