REMOVAL OF THE OLD BOILER
26th January 2001 - The old boiler is removed at the Acorn Shipyard at Strood

One traditional coal-fired boiler for sale - one careful owner!

Off comes the funnel

A bare top to the fiddley

The old fiddley sitting on the dockside

The fiddley has now been removed and strops have been placed under the boiler ready for hoisting

Out she comes

An empty hole in the boiler room

A new life starts on wooden chocks in retirement

Does anybody want me?
