Boris Johnson Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 We have a big Transport Museum at Jurby already, stick it there. Last time I looked boats were transport? Likely get more views there too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look 5m sounds a hell of a lot but the Peggy belongs in The Maritime Museum and a more cost effective plan is required. As has been suggested perhaps businesses could be invited to sponsor the exhibit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, that old wreck apparently needs an atmosphere-controlled environment otherwise it'll be more use to Bryant and May than Manx heritage.

Kopek Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Not a done deal yet? Think this Jason M trying to get the most grandiose and expensive deal to the fore. MNH would have to find half the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
