Our YouTube channel, which we’ve had for years, disappeared overnight following what we assume was a hack. We tried everything to get it back, to no avail. We’ve lost all our old video uploads and subscribers.

So, we’re starting from scratch once again and have set up a new Bessie Ellen YouTube channel ➡️ @ BessieEllen1904

Please support us by subscribing (it’s free) to our new channel and spreading the word.

Follow the link in our profile or comment LINK and we’ll send it to you.

Thank you!

An interesting and important read

To be honest, this years charters have finished and I feel utterly exhausted and yet work moves into the next phase of annual inspections, caulking, anti fouling, engine maintenance and so much more that I can't seem to find the time for myself. So. I'll crack on and update you all on how it all goes.

Such a warm welcome from all the team C Toms & Son. Back after 3 years. Without shipyards like these, our maritime heritage would be gone and forgotten. Thanks to them and T.Nielsen & Co Ltd. We live to sail another year
