The asking price was only 2.8 million pounds in the UK - I?m sure if we had all put our pennies together, we could have bought her, even though she's not a "Lugger" :-) She's a replica (with all the modern gear like diesel engines and satnav), and has been used in the Hornblower TV series and quite a few movies. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/Transport/Ships/Grand_Turk.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/Transport/Ships/Grand_Turk_2.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/Transport/Ships/Grand_Turk_3.jpg.html BEWARE!! the large versions in colour are pretty big - I forgot to limit the size in Lightroom.
