Sadly looking rather neglected in the morning sun, 20 May 2018. Maybe the museum is short of funds?

I thought I'd posted my photos but I guess not.

Forward saloon now the cafe.

Starboard side facing aft

Starboard paddle wheel - through the viewing window - in poor condition - the port side was mostly missing.

Looking across engine room to port side.

Builders plate on bridge face

Port side - access to main deck is no longer allowed due to weather damage.

In the afternoon sun

Shame if she can't be looked after, especially as a local build. Probably not many Wm. Gray vessels left now.

I totally agree with you! I took this in March and you can see the rust on the lower bow.
