Some of you will remember the horse and cart that came before the Mack Truck in Hamilton .

History.

The Royal Naval Dockyard as we know it, was built during the horse and buggy days, some of those big heavy stones were transported from Morsby Plane by Donkey and Trap.

The story goes, there was a fire at the Dockyard in the Donkey stables and the Donkeys were lost.

No but more than likely it will start a new long life as a commercial boat doing something.

Wonder what happened to the generation before them? They sure would make nice snorkel dive sites. Tourists love a sunk boat. Does not matter what or how it got there. Tie a skeleton to the wheel. Even better.

No, the UBP bought that ferry. It was the UBPs fault.

Thankyou. That was the hope. There must be other ways of removing years of old paint though.

Just to clarify it was being worked on and there is no conspiricy. The fire was caused by workers on the vessel by accident. I am one of the workers but was not there at the time. Dont panick people. No one was heart and damage is little. No need to jump to conclusions.

I wonder if it is insured, is there any cameras on the buildings to see folk going in and out of dockyard before it to place, and who is to say that it is not something electrical or otherwise that could have started it.

Yes it will be investigated as ‘all’ fires are investigated.

I can only assume this fire will be investigated, as it is very suspicious???? Hopefully the cause when found is published!!!

Ain’t that a coincidence? Not just any old boat but one of the ex Somerset ferrys which happens to be on the Government slipway undergoing work as a private workboat.

Oh yeah. This one needs a thorough investigation on how the fire started. Lets hope it is a simple case of a fire starting because of somebody welding or doing other work on the boat.

If the vessel was being worked on I could understand an incident.
I smell something and it ain’t smoke.
And on a weekend.
(keep other thoughts to self).
Shalom.
