Second hand railway line with all the bits required to replace
Shamrock's slipway tracks have been obtained from Bodmin & Wenford Railway. As the line is in 18m (60ft) lengths it needs to be cut in half for transporting and physically lifting into place, also new bolt holes need to be drilled in the cut ends. This is going to delay putting the line down until the beginning of August with the major repairs to Shamrock now scheduled for the autumn.
Shamrock is Not so Lonely
On Sunday 7th May after 13 years inside Mashfords boatyard the Lynher barge floated on the Tamar meaning that
Shamrock is no longer the 'only fully restored Tamar Sailing Barge in the world'. The crew hopes that the two barges can meet up at an event sometime in the future.
