funny the things that turn up. Talking to an old guy in one of the net sheds in hartlepool, got talking about about boats and pansy in particular... he disappears behind a mountain of gear and comes back with this. Original compass from pansy, 1934. he'd saved it when it was removed during a refit in 1969 when the boat was fishing out of hartlepool.

Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but bring a smile to your face when thrown down the stairs

Nice piece of Kit that Mark, when is it to be installed on Pansy and when is she going to be finished?

Whats the odds on that happening, nice touch though...
Any pics of Pansy as she is at the moment Mark...
just as she sits on the hard. (see blog link below). He also dragged out the original chain steering box, and a pile of hounds, rescued from the old masts among other things!
Did stumble upon the requisite 50kg bail of oakum recently as well, just to prick my conscience even more!
