Freshspring on the Move Again!

Built in 1946 the former RN steamship FRESHSPRING is on the move again! Following a lengthy stay on the River Severn at Collo Pill the Steamship Freshspring Trust decided to move her first to Sharpness for a quick paint of the hull before moving her on down the Bristol Channel to Bideford.

Thanks, Chris. I'm so pleased that you thought to document this milestone event. It's very heartening to know that despite the current ecconomic climate, organisations such as the Freshspring Trust are still able to function, and that their work to restore to seaworthy condition, historically important vessels like the SS Freshspring, continues. I wish them well!

I remember Freshspring from my Royal Navy days. It would be great to have a follow up video showing what a lick of paint can achieve!

Thanks Andrew, fond memories of when I visited the ship, still in good condition, whilst having recently arrived at Bristol Docks.
