Some exciting pics here from Alex's visit!

Perhaps Michael can chip in with the coronation chair's history?

And there's our lovely asprey silver model.

Thank you, Alex, for letting us see what is happening onboard at this time.

Would photograph number 5 be what used to be the entrance to the Computer Learning Centre? I wonder what this wooden object is?

Photo number 6 looks like the Wardroom Chair that was discussed in the Wardroom topic.

The one on the right in the wooden box looks like a hand operated foghorn; presumably some kind of lifeboat equipment?

I believe that the yellow box is a floating emergency radio.

I think that the yellow, is a floating emergency radio and I want to say that the silver spire. An award for something? Think thats a model of the prop.

The Yacht Club is in need of a little TLC.  Hope there is a refurbishment planned.
