Not Nelson, but so important!

Here is some video taken today (12 January 2011) of work inside the ship laying the tween deck:

Many thanks for those fascinating links, Tony. Incidentally, was the cause of the fire ever discovered? There was some suggestion at the time that it was arson.

Tony;

Thanks for that. It's good to know Britain's other famous ship is getting back to her old/new self!

Anna,

I believe arson was eventually ruled out and this was found to be the cause:

I wonder what the guards do now? :roll:
