18th century boat removed from Nautical Museum in 2015
Moving an 18th century schooner back to the Nautical Museum in Castletown is expected to cost more than £5 million.
The Peggy was removed for conservation work in 2015 after being housed in what were described as 'appalling conditions'.
A motion is going before Tynwald tomorrow to set out a timeline for the boat's return.
