Previous updates by Stuart Cameron, Bruce Biddulph , Colin Campbell and George Robinson
early 21st century a new funnel and paddleboxes were constructed for replacement of heavily deteriorated components but were not added to the vessel
pending funding.
2007 Vessel dismantled and significant parts e.g. engine, placed in preservation storage for future incorporation into a new hull
It us likely that a future reproduction will be classified as a new vessel
