Same here. I got some photos I included in the video, I thought I did have some video footage but tunes out I didn't. I hope they do something with it but don't have much hope. The area where it is could be great for a cafe ,bubs etc with it as a centre point ,but very unlikely
I have one of the dorade vents off this, found it magnet fishing last year where the ship use to be docked, had it sand blasted and powder coated in off white and it sits in my sitting room as a fascinating part of history.
Great video - the opening shot with you talking looked like you had some kool effect on the camera - like in the filims! ..yeh, such a pity though the boat, with all of its history, has ended up in that condition Thanks for the video ;o,
The Naomh Eanna was very much a part of my childhood in Galway where I was incarcerated in St. Joseph's CBS Industrial School...1959-1966. Our Sunday walks occasionally took us to The Docks where we'd see the ship preparing to sail to the Aran Islands. To see her now in this state saddens me and reflects a country's contempt for history in its mad rush to modernity. I sailed her once. What would John Masefield say?
Thank you very much for that, I love to hear of anyone enjoying the videos or channel so thank you. I would love to see it as a centre piece somewhere, out of the water, be no need to do inside it, or perhaps like in a dry Dock like the one in Belfast, but I think they'll scrapp it. Better off as a reef.
Brilliant work and history Mick.thanks.🙏💙. Really a terrible shame.. government seems to have endless funds available for all " Euro projects" and "saving the world " from itself stunts.. while failing our own people and heritage..☹️
I remember it well, having worked on it for the Liffey Dockyard Company, as a young Fitter in the bowels of its engine room, back in 1966.....sad to see it end up like this..
Shame to see , but despite all the cry's of it should be saved no one seems to want to get their money out their pockets , the Nomadic cost about aight million to restore unfortunately the expense of these projects is enormous and need a sound business' plan to attract any investment..
Great video - Had planned to fly over it ... Before it was scuttled

I think it would make a nice centre piece somewhere, but it's not looking good.
Thanks for watching 👍👍
