The Nautical Museum without Peggy, for the duration of conservation works, is beginning to take shape. Today we began the process of clearing one of the galleries, installed in 1967, in which we plan to present a display centred on George Quayle, Peggy, her conservation and our plans for the future of George's boat house and stables.
The first object to come out is this 19th century ship's tender, which is quite a rarity in its own right, albeit overshadowed by it's larger neighbour.

| The tender is up-ended in a wooden support frame... |

| ... and is then loaded into a waiting van. |
The little tender is due to be conserved alongside Peggy in the new conservation facility.
