The Grand Turk moored at Chatham Dockyard.

[oldgit]

The Grand Turk arrived this morning,was supposed to be here last weekend to give visitors to Rochester for the Tour De France trips up the river.Unfortunately she was delayed by very bad weather and had to divert for shelter.

They haven't sold her yet then?

 

[capnsensible]

If they had, would she still be in this picture!!!

 

[oldgit]

While Googling for her sailing plan came across that she had an accident of some sort when firing one of her cannon.

You are not being very sensible, for if she had been sold I would expect the new owners to agree to meet contractual obligations. Yours for 2.7 mil

 

[capnsensible]

Bargain. Fancy a share??

 

[Medskipper]

Yep, Saw her pull into the berth on Monday!

Looks a bit expensive to me. Seems to be an open plan design and there don't appear to be many head compartments. Not an electric flush loo in sight...

 

[Rabbie]

Yes, Jez, but think of all those film location fees!

 

[oldgit]

Too many bits of canvas for my taste and no flybridge.

We passed by last night and then saw her leaving today.

 

[Major Catastrophe]

It occurred to me if 270 of us invested £10,000 each, we could buy and use her as the forum boat and make some money on the side doing trips around the lighthouse and film work.

Only trouble is, the raggies would take over as the MOBOers would be down below tinkering with the twin diesels.

Not all Major. Some of us would be happily messing about with the cannon

OK,

I am in. Can I be in charge of the Gangplank! There are sooo many people who deserve to walk it!

Can I also take charge of Keelhauling and Flogging, but I will leave general discipline to PaulineB!

Shiver me timbers... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

We were next to the Grand Turk in Ramsgate Outer harbour last month aboard Mary Jane a Dunkirk Little Ship, even used on of her 'bow thrusters' read dingy!! to fix our stern name boards on with the kind permission of Ian the skipper. Met up again with her at Oostende which could have turned into a disaster as I was duty bottle washer and had just grabbed hold a stack of plates, when GT let go one of her cannons with an almighty bang, I must have lept about 6' in the bleeding air. Ian was later forgiven when he let the grog flow.
