The St Michael

            LT 328 a decommissioned Lowestoft trawler which was bought by a student at Camberwell College of Arts in London with a classmate for £5000. What started off as student quarters has turned into his permanent home and he has converted it into two apartments. When he bought it, the vessel was pretty bare with only an ice room, anchor room, fish hold; the boat is split into a four-bedroom apartment and a two-bedroom apartment.  What was once the captain's quarters, at the bow of the ship, is next in line for a face lift. Once finished, this apartment will have direct access to the wooden roof deck. Seen in Ramsgate Dry dock undergoing some exterior refurbishment. The boat is normally moored in an inlet next to Nine Elms Pier in Vauxhall.

My Thanks to my good pal Ruth who came across this article, helping me out because I was having problems finding anything regarding this vessel. Thanks also to the NY Times, who would have thought of an American paper?? Thanks again Ruth.
  HFF !!!

MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED
