Grounded Ramsey tall ship could be refloated next month

Owner outlines recovery plans for La Malouine after vessel ran aground

It’s hoped a grounded tall ship in Ramsey will be refloated in the middle of next month.

People are being urged not to climb onto the ship while it remains grounded, for safety reasons.
