Finally managed to get out on William Riley, something I was looking forward to immensely. Stood in as "second bowman" - quite unofficially.

My attention was a little divided at this point ... That's one massive crawler grab crane - I presume it is used to unload sand / gravel / wood chips or similar bulk materials [not grain, there's better things for that]

ON594 "William Riley" [William Riley of Birmingham & Leamington] Built by Thames Ironworks, London in 1909 to a self-righting design by Rubie. Powered by 10 oars, cox, 2nd cox and bowman - No Sails. Stationed at Upgang and then Whitby. Sold out of service in 1931. Found derelict in Barnstaple and restored to sea-going condition in 2008 & used for fund-raising. . Oldest exRNLI lifeboat present. . Personally, I had quite a lot to do with retrieving and restoring her.
