A visit was made to the basin of the dry dock at the Marine Museum at the request of staff concerned about the situation of the Alexander Henry. The aim, fully achieved, was to establish the clearances between ship and dock and to identify any hazards to the ship's hull within the basin.
In a dive lasting 30 minutes, it was demonstrated that the ship has at least two feet of clearance at all points, the low point being the stern, something which is quite obvious from the surface. A number of large concrete and steel objects were identified in the dock, all on the Port side of the ship.
The picture, which I thought quite striking in the sunlight, is a reflection in a car window.
