Hi Alan,Do you know where the bridge deck launch Quo Vadis is. Would the owners consider a sale. Kind RegardsSteve Lay
Sorry can’t help. I think it’s a vindex, so unlikely to be on WW. Alan H

Bottom photo of the wrecks at Green Point. 8229 is I think the Rita, ex oyster dredge. I think she may have been built as a steamer. Behind her is the Miro, once a trading ketch. cheers k
