There is more history to be found on Google, here and on 28DL. Crashmatt, The_Revolution, Kaputnik and myself went to see what we could see.

Unusual explore. I like the ship in the display cabinet. Cool find.

Cracking stuff :thumb:

I like shots 2 and 4 there, nice use of torch lighting

A real shame she's ended up like this. Been like it since '79. Great pics.
Here's one from her glory days

Sailed straight out of hell this ship.....:evil:

And as I can't decide which shot I like best have a slightly differently lit shot

I'll post some later, but I don't think I'll be going back to get any more!

crashmatt · Jan 5, 2009

I'm not going to say anything much about the actual explore here, some of you will already know why, others will find out in time. All I'll say is that if you're thinking of going, drop me a pm first.

Winchester · Jan 5, 2009

Aye, I can see why you wouldn't want to say anything, sounded like a pretty hellish experience when it was time to leave!

The Pirate · Jan 6, 2009

Great pics guys ...Looks like you had fun

lost · Jan 6, 2009

Considering how decrepit it looks, it's really tidy on the inside!
Amazing stuff. :mrgreen:

Amazing stuff.

It's pretty good in most places. There's some vandal damage - not done by us! Smashed windows and such like. There's ice on some of the interior corridors where the windows are broken. It wouldn't take a huge amount of work to tidy it up and make it nice on the inside, but I doubt it would ever me sea worthy again.

Was great fun, mostly.

Poor old girl. Cool photos, thanks.

nalski · Jan 7, 2009

Agreed, yeah, best internal shots I've seen too, well done.

Breaks my heart to see that Zaccaria Astro Wars machine just rotting away, not to mention the Asteroids and the Galaxian!

One of my other hobbies is collecting and restoring arcade machines of that era. I still have Asteroids and Galaxian machines like the ones in the pics and also had the Astro Wars cab too but sold that a while ago.
