Hi Graham
Thank you very much for your interest and the links, I know of the sites you mention , Carsten is a good friend of mine, and we help each other in finding information regarding Sct.Knud/Canute , our plan is to write a book about the ship, we still need to do some more research and collect pictures, we already have quite a lot, I was lucky to find out that Fowey Harbour Service has a historic page, telling the story of each ship which have served in their service , among them St.Canute , there are some nice pictures from the 60`s.
Last Tuesday I had a talk with the last Captain, who sailed with Sct.Knud from 54-60, he gave some information about the daily routines and also told me about icebreaking with the ship, during those years.
I have been told that the ship will participate at next years Steam Festival in Vejle, here in Denmark, but this information is not confirmed at this moment, I hope to see the ship there, will be a big thrill to see how the restoration is progressing .
Most people know the ship as Canute, from the Billing kit, and that is ok, but I surely prefer the Danish version as it was from 1931-60.
I enclose a few pictures of Sct.Knud as it was back then and a few of my model.
Regards
Jan
