They did, she ended up here as a floating night club in the 70s. Shes been left to rot and her engineshave been stolen at some point by the looks of it.
I see the engines have been stolen now, but that could be in the last 7 years or more. I used to watch for updates when i thought there was hope of saving her. But shes rotted through now :(
Had so much fun drink and kisses on that boat..in the 80s worked at island harbour late 90s it was bad then a few plates were welded in she was still floating then still looked a boat ..but now gone should of been saved back then ..but no money.
Absolutely, great memories on her as a night club but she is well and truly finished now.
Brings tears to my eyes seeing her this way..many a great night on her
Some great memories on The Boat.
Travelled on that from Portsmouth the Ryde in the 60’s. They should have kept it afloat if only for a museum piece.
Lots of people with great memories, sad to see her in such a state but all things come to an end. :)

I found this after searching Google for updates on her condition and the restoration projects...yeah, she's gone.
Spent many good Saturday nights on that in the day
We can remember them well. Have been searching the Internet for old photos especially inside but can't find many.

Beyond all hope of repair.
I like the view How did you do that view?
It’s a DJI drone, great for these kind of shots.
Damn that ship has seen better days
It was once a nightclub then after it fell into disrepair there were plans to restore it. Much too far gone now.

Beyond any hope of repair now, a sad sight but with so many great memories for the Island.
Owner had plenty of offers and a group was set up to save her, but he wouldnt let her go. :(
So so sad😢 Travel.
on her many a time in the sixties
We’ve been trying to find some old photos of her, love to see some from back in the day.
I have a photo for her coming into Portsmouth
