Light Ship - Ocean Village
Image: © Colin Babb Taken: 9 May 2008
This old light ship, now buried up to the water line, is in dire need of a bit of TLC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Village_%28marina%29 Apparently there are plans afoot to lift this ship out of its position at Ocean Village and to move it to the site of a new cruise liner berth, to be called Ocean Terminal, not too far away. It can be moved because it is sitting on a bed of gravel and investigations have shown that the hull is in not too bad a condition. So maybe this old ship will soon be looking much nicer. Let's hope so.
