Yeah Lowestoft thats the place, on the west coast of the isle.

When I purchaced RedCloud I found an old life ring cover with the name
and port stenciled on it. The previous owner told me the boat was
sailed to the USA in 1976 for the celebration in NY harbor. went back
to england and returned to texas in the early 80's. The owner got
divorced and sold it to the guy I bought it from. His house burned down
right before Christmas so he needed the money and I had the cash. When
I bought her she had the HMS Neversail painted on the bow and had been
neglected for many years. I put around 35K into restoring her to better
than new condition. Those crazy brits had 2 heads on the boat and no
shower. I'd love to find out who the original owner/ builder was. So
many parts were hand made like the wheel, all the turnbuckles, the mast
lowering devices ect that maybe it was a backyard project buildt by a
shipyard worker.

Ive contacted several people in the lowestoft area but no ones
remembers the C Warden.

The ability to weld Monel to steel is the hard part, Not that Monel
did not exist.

Monel was invented long long before 1976 my friend. It was used in
steam
turbines in the 19-teens among other things.

For the bypass valves, too?

Dunno. Hi-pressure hi-flow steam valves have some of the innards made of
some exotic metals, but IIRC it's hi nickel chrome steel, not Monel.

Advances in metallurgy is one reason why stuff lasts so much longer now
than it used to.

Don't forget to save some for me!

Already ate a New York strip steak cooked on the grill and a
Caesar salad. The pie is for desert.

Yummy!

Gotta keep my strength up for pulling sheets and halyards.

While you are busy doing that, I'll get the dishes, Sweetie.
