Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter\"Olga\"

found some photos of the "Olga". She is kept in Swansea Marina with some other historic craft outside the maritime museum. I believe the museum is being refurbished or enlarged and will be open ready for this summer.

I remember her as Roger Robinson's boat; 20+ years ago. He kept her in Tollesbury. Nice pictures.
