Snapper Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 It's been there a bloody long time and I would imagine it must be pretty stuck to the shore by now. I've only known it since 1984 and these are the first close up snaps I've seen of it - but I am no expert. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Does the tide flood the insides when it comes in, how badly damaged is it, would it be possible to plug the holes and re float it from low tide !!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
