If Nomadic is to be transformed from a rusting hulk into an international tourist attraction, she will need to be completely renovated.While the Department for Social Development has acquired the vessel, and Belfast City Council has pledged £100,000 to the restoration fund, a determined effort will be required to raise funds to turn the vision into reality.... | 24th July 2006 | ||
