Update on Massey Shaw
On 22nd November, after lots of delays associated with ensuring the vessel’s fit state to be in the water, the Massey Shaw will eventually leave Gloucester Dock and sail down Sharpness Canal into Commercial Docks and from there head out to Portis Head. On Sunday 24th she will travel to Avonmouth for 5 hours testing. If all goes well, the vessel will be craned out and travel to Denton PLA where she will be prepared for launch on the Thames. There will be a complete refit of the wheelhouse and deck locker, and then on 28th November she will leave for Royal Victoria dock.
The Massey Shaw education trust project is one of the projects being supported by the Worshipful Company of Firefighters Charitable Trust.
