A group working to restore an historic Steam Packet ferry is warning time is running out to save her.
The Manxman plied Irish Sea routes in the 1950s and was the last steam turbine passenger ferry in the world.
But she’s currently languishing in drydock while the Manxman Steamship Company Limited raises enough cash to have her taken to Liverpool, restored and opened to the public.
Adrian Sweeney of the company says something needs to be done soon or she could be doomed:
New Year Honours for six Isle of Man residents
President of Tynwald Laurence Skelly receives OBE
Island enjoyed 'reasonable' summer despite no record-breaking temperatures
Senior meteorologist has been reflecting on the weather over the last 12 months
Head of Ambulance Service 'really privileged' to receive New Year Honour
Will Bellamy pays tribute to wider emergency services and healthcare community
Chief Fire Officer 'overwhelmed' after receiving New Year Honour
Mark Christian hopes King's Fire Service Medal will 'shine a spotlight' on Manx emergency service
