Let imagination run riot and envisage modern photo technology recording ships from a century ago!

Undergone a refurbishment this month, wooden bridge front replaced by steel but painted mahogany and formed into tongue and groove to make it as close to the original as possible
Apparently an important step but still a lot to do according to what I read
