The last thing to go there is another boat!

I appreciate the importance of that one, but what a waste, sitting there rotting at a huge cost. By all means let the punters see it and visit, but any boat should be in its own environment.

Why not a statue? In addition to this gent there are a number of others (many his contemporaries) who have done much to inspire us, and they could point us across the road back to the maritime museum.

This is a great and historic site, and not to be wasted a a mausoleum (whether for craft or dubious politicos!)
