Some recent pictures of the dereliction of the RYDE can be seen in the March pictures of the month on the excellent Kingswear Castle site.

Poor old girl looks long past saving. Hopefully the engines can be rescued.  Regards, Walter.

Hi PD's,

last August i meet the Ryde on the IoW it is so sad to see a ship like this rusting away :cry: i took many photos of her before she went away.

Regards Hans

A short look around (outside the ship) can be found on 'youtube', seeing this it does look like any kind of 'restoration' would have to be along similar lines to that of Meday Queen, ie. build new ship, use only the engines and maybe one or two items that could be restored.... see it
