Stricken Tallship: 'Strong Chance & Hope' Historic Vessel At Holyhead Can Still be Saved
A historic tall ship which ran aground on the Port of Holyhead's breakwater, according to NorthWalesLive, could still be saved as hopes have been raised.
The 83-year-old tall ship Zebu got into difficulties on May 15 and the ship had to be abandoned, after she was grounded on the sea wall.
There were fears the vessel, which was left at a 45 degree angle, may have to be dismantled, with the masts removed earlier this week as bad weather approached.
But inspections by divers have now shown the vessel is not as damaged as previously feared.
A full statement has been put out by the marketing director, for the two-masted clipper, which said there is "a strong chance & hope from Team Zebu that she will be saved."
An investigation also found the cause of the incident was due to the anchor dragging.
