Barrelmans Point - Restoration Progress of HMS Ganges Mast 

Restoration of the historic HMS Ganges Mast is well under way at Barrelmans Point in Shotley.
We caught up with Jim Dines, Director of TS Rigging, whose team are lovingly restoring the mast back to its former glory. Many have a personal connection to the mast, like Jim, who's father was a boy seaman in the 50's at the site, and would have climbed the mast, like countless others for their training.
