Anyone know anything about the very large sailing ship currently moored in the docks? Where is it from? Who owns it? Can I get a tour? ;-)

Was half listening to news earlier. They discovered some new coral off west coast and then they interviewed one of the crew at docks. Maybe this is the ship.

No, the ship that the coral was discovered from was the ILV Granuaile - Irish Lights Commission ship. It's a working/research ship, ship on the docks is definitely for pleasure.

Don’t think this Christopher is a research vessel, the ILV Granuaile was the one that found the new black coral not discovered before and rare type of sponges not discovered before in Irish waters.

So who has chartered the Christopher ?
