This is so lovely to see your bringing her back to her glory.. My Dad bought her from Norfolk, she had a trip across to The medway.. Sadly my Dad passed so we regrettably had to sell her.
Good to see this boat is being looked after. In the late 70's she was called Orican and was later renamed Tigerbridge. We accompanied her on a trip to Dunkirk in the late 80's. A fine boat that deserves to be loved again.
Thanks so much for posting, my family bought her in the late 80's and renamed her Tigerbridge (was Quatre Saisons). We kept her on the Thames and later at Chatham and Medway Bridge. Many happy holidays including trips to France and Belgium. Still have the ships bell with her name on, I even thought of buying her when she was up for sale this year but sounds like I would have had my hands full. You are doing a fine job and look forward to some more updates. Thank you
Does she still have the original table in the cabin? We had a little bit of A drinking session onboard and sadly the table got broken. To save serious parental troubles Brett and I fixed the table with some wood glue without ever telling the parents.
Hey there. I used to build Seamaster cruisers in Gt Dunmow back in the sixties, until the company closed in the early eighties. And worked on every single one of the 30's molded. whether fully fitted of hull and superstructure only
Many thanks Paul and Brett, how exciting to hear news of her previous life. It's been a pleasure trying to get her back to where she needs to be. Wow Brett, you have the original bell, any chance we could buy it from you? I would also be interested to know how your parents came about the name TB, and of course any further stories. Have a great Christmas, and you are both welcome aboard anytime.
