    Yes,
    The Arklow Raider is free and is bound for Dublin.
    We are glad to see her on the move but will miss all the action

    Ah well the fun is over but good to see they got her out.
    Maybe we could get a ship/AIS forum on the go!;)

    In 1975 a small coal carrier called "The Michael" was crashed into Tramore strand during a storm, they never got it lifted and over the years quietly rotted away. I have a picture somewhere of me standing under the bow with its name above me. :)

    Here's another one from 1991 just by Bunmahon

    Anyone got any pics of this years later when it was rotting away?? LOVE to see the difference.

    Ah thats a different vessel, they got that one refloated. As for "the Michael" I'll have to find the photo albums and have a look.

    Not quite over...I'm listening in on the radio :D ...she's a bit broken apparently, something along the lines of jammed propellor and bent rudder, subsequently the tug is having a 'mare in keeping her moving in the right direction...and to add insult to injury something has just broken on the tug, so they've ground to halt again while it gets fixed...I'm up early in the morning, but its not going to happen at this rate....this is utterly addictive, better than any soap opera, DoGdamn the fella who posted the link to http://ei7dar.com/ais.html :D

    I'd be up for that :D ...worked on Southampton docks for a while, and spent more time watching the super freighters coming in and out of the cargo terminal than I ever did at my real job :D

    She's just being brought into Dublin Port now, by Oakgarth Tug assisted by the Camac Pilot....presumably for some repairs.

    Great pics, reminds me of the Ranga which was wrecked near Slea Head in 1982 on her maiden voyage

    Hi,
    The Arlow Raider left Dublin Port for Odda (Norway) this morning after spending the last 6 weeks (approx.) undergoing repairs in Dry Dock in Dublin, after it ran aground at the mouth of the Boyne.
