    Close up of stern detail

    The background to this historic vessel is a most spectatular story. Its claim to fame is that of being the first iron clad ship and it managed a sailing life of nearly 100 years. Abandoned on the Falkland Islands (way before anyone had ever heard of them!) it looked like it was doomed to rot away.

    Then an inspired group successfully floated the rotted hull and in 1970 managed to bring it back to its birth place just round the corner from where we live.

    Baltic Wharf's very own snowman

    We may have missed out on a white christmas in December 2009 but early January 2010 saw plenty of snow. Perretts Court looks positively icy with the warm red of the roof tiles replaced by the cold white of snow. Elsewhere around the harbourside it looks very seasonal, with even a large snowman built outside Baltic Wharf.
