Restoring HMS Pickle: Can We Save This Historic Ship?

⁨@historicmotorandsail6587⁩  The summer of 2026 brought new challanges and solutions to the restoration of the ship. In this episode we show how we seal up the bolt holes and how critical is it to get the resin right the first time. Problems we have getting machinery working and a new delivery of wood gives the team extra work. If you would like to be involved and volunteer on this magnificent project then come down to Hull marina and have a chat with one of the crew. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Historic Motor And Sail is a CIC company which means it's run for and by the whole community.
