Bessie Ellen turns 120 in 2024, and to celebrate she's embarking on a voyage round Britain. But before she can set sail for the season, there's been a lot of work to do at T.Nielsen Shipyard at Gloucester Dock. Sarah White and Tommi Nielsen have been running this shipyard since the late 1980s, and it has a sterling reputation for traditional shipbuilding, rigging, and repair work. Bessie Ellen is in the fine company of a number of historic wooden vessels throughout winter, and this short film introduces you to the shipyard itself, along with Kathleen & May, once part of the Historic Ship Collection.

See what a working shipyard specialising in traditional tall ship rigging, repair, and maintenance is like, and learn about Britain’s last surviving three-mast wooden hull topsail schooner, Kathleen & May. For more films in our Bessie Ellen series, check out the playlist - ua-cam.com/video/mElJHueAUmM/v-deo.html Cheers! Kim & Del

I wonder if Leo Goolden and Tally Ho will one day visit Gloucester. ☺️

Growing up in Milford Haven during the 1950's I remember the Kathleen & May sailing up the Haven on her way to Pembroke. The local Farmers Co-op had a warehouse on Pembroke Key opposite the Castle and the Kathleen & May brought cattle-cake in on a regular contract. The local boatmen at the time knew we where seeing something special.

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Can picture her arriving there with the castle as a backdrop, what a great memory that must be.

Wonderful to see so much on the Kathleen &May. In 2019 I built a 1/24 scale model of her which,now things have returned to normal after the pandemic I am able to sail regularly on the boating lake at Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The model was built in traditional fashion, plank on frame, in pine. She sail’s perfect and is much commented on. Perhaps I may try and make a trip to Gloucester this summer but now in my eighty’s long trips take a little planning. Is she open for viewing and if so when?

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

That sounds like quite the project, no wonder she’s much commented upon. Not sure about viewing but there’s usually one of the volunteers (who look after Kathleen & May) there each day.

[@LaurieWatkins-s7c]

Missed the bit when k&m was in st Mary overie dock before she left London.

[@whispersailing3488]

Excellent. Only comment is - several shots of ‘Josefine’ (sailing wood) but no comment in the commentary.

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Sorry about that, an oversight on our part.

[@jcline147]

Do you have to be a paying “patron” in order to see updates as you’re taking this trip around the UK… or are there planned videos for UA-cam in the future?

[@GoingTheWholeHogg]

Hi Judy, we will be releasing new videos soon (next one this weekend) although there will be a limit to what we can produce while on the go. All the main videos will eventually be available on YT, but in the meantime, we are putting out various short segments for the Patreon page only 🙂

[@jcline147]

Thanks very much. Wishing you all the best! Safe sailing!
