The Steam Tug Cervia Progress.

As I pointed out yesterday both Ramsgate Maritime Museum and the last remaining ocean going steam tug are open to the public in Ramsgate harbour today and well worth a visit, entrance is free.

This link takes you to a few pictures of her that I took late yesterday afternoon http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/510b/id8.htm as you see a tremendous amount of work has been done since I last took pictures of her in July of last year, click on the link for the pictures of her then http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/cervia/

    What is wrong with T.D.C. the LAST remaining Empire tug afloat in the U.K if not the world has been left to ROT. if it was not for a band of a few people working in their spare time she would not be afloat now. THIS IS OUR MARITIME HERITAGE. for goodness sake Thanet council wake up and do something for Ramsgate and our country.
    These tugs once bought a lot of work to Ramsgate so look after the only one left.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
