Just been workingon boat at Gillingham and looked up and outside could see 3 tall masts moving up river. So when finished went on a drive, in the Chatham Maritime area on the dock entrance is the Turk, the old new Raggie that they built for the Hornblower series. He was just mooring up, with 2 stonking great diesels going. So its actually a motor raggie!
Obviously draws a fair bit of water cos it had gone aground there.
Rumour is that its there untill 28th.

I doubt HMS Victory floats/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
And you would need a pretty big lorry to pull it around the M25/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
