Another view of a line-up at the Anstruther museum pond. From front to back, Smiling Morn KY47, Alexanders BF20, Carlynsu KY19, Sharlyn BA193 and Valhalla FR268. The wee tug at the back is a Canute kit.
I haven't been to the museum yet and I keep meaning to go. Are there any real floating exhibits in the harbour, apart from the Reaper, as that's what some of us really want to see.....museum owned or privately owned?
Hi Brian.
I'm not an expert on what the museum owns (on the water). Apart from the Reaper there is WHITE WING which is a Fifie Bauldie launched in Gardenstown in 1916. She does her bit as an ambassador for the museum too. There are a couple of other wee boats (Shirley II KY130)with a bit of history in the harbour and at least one has an open deck. I don't know who owns them though. Some of the museum guys have created a kit for the Four'ern and these are on sale for anyone interested in a fair size project. There is usually one on the quay which goes for a jaunt occasionally. In the museum there is of course the big Zulu (Research) which I feel will never grace the water again and also a cute little Ringer (Lively Hope LH432) which I believe was built at Cockenzie. The Ringer I am told will not be going back to sea either which I feel is a great shame as she would look good in the harbour. If we can't see such masterpieces on the water again then that's where the modeller comes in.......! I have to say that there is nothing more delightful than a living museum seeing boats, planes, trains, etc., doing what they are supposed to do.
Cheers
