Title: SQUIRREL 51-ton Welsh Trading ketch
Post by: Positive on September 30, 2011, 01:19:07 pm

I will be putting it in the sea and display case in the morning.
20'=1"
Completed in 1882 at Bridgewater, but have no idea what here fate was and when, but still registered in 1923, but not in 1930 and I don't have any registers between those dates.   Can anyone enlighten me please?
Bob

Thanks Neil,
I didn't really have much choice, at 51 tons, at my normal scale it would have been rather too small to be of interest.
