History isn't just about "digging up the past" but also recording events today.
In this video we visit Matthew Bayles on the Matthew Flinders IV, out in Anderson Bay, Bridport, to hear the story of his latest project to boost the Flinders Island - Bridport shipping service.
We get glimpses of Bridport in the past and the former Lady Jillian shipping service to Flinders Island.
You will get a "Cooks" tour of the new ship and get glimpses of the ship under construction.
I always find it amazing to reflect on just how a large, modern vessel, with all the latest navigation, propulsion and emission reduction gear, could be built in the small coastal village of Bridport.
Certainly a credit to all concerned and well worth recording.
