A fellow member of Ships Nostalgia informed me that Silver Fern was built as BA101; after fishing from Eire she was registered BA261. In 1979 became PZ119
 
Ok I don t confess to understanding the term fallen away... So what happened was this vessel tied to the quay without enough slack? surely when the tide comes in the vessel will re float? Or have I just made myself look a complete plonker by even asking these questions;)
 
Oh I seeeee! the tide is coming in and the vessels still resting on its side and therefore flooding! It wasn t clear until I enlarged the image. Thanks for the support BoP I can always rely on you read#
 
The problem is also loss of fuel into the harbour. She has toppled under the quay, which means that she cannot be simply pulled up straight. The tide has to lift her, but not filled. Change of stresses on her sides, could weaken her and open up the timbers.
