Here are some photos. It was starting to rain so I didn't linger for a closer look.

I ought not to leave my shoelaces untied. It's as much a sign of old age as a liking for CQR anchors

Well I doubt there are many bits of 1930’s technology still going strong in the boating world today.

Well what about the screw propellor? Invented 1836 I believe. The diesel engine 1898, Davits, even older, the Dorade vent 1929 etc. etc. I think this list might be a long one.
