This Thermopylae lost her masts and rigging in Hurricane Wilma a few years ago. The crew managed to tow her to a nearby port using her lifeboats |
 |
Most of the crew signed off once the ship was in drydock but some stayed to assist in her refitting |
 |
It took over two years to get everything back together but slowly and surely the Thermopylae started to look like her old self again. |
 |
Lines are in place and the sails have been bent on and a new crew is training for the relaunch of this seagoing monarch. |
 |
New masts, new rigging and several new sails and now she is ready to join the Cuty Sark in the race to bring tea from China to London. |
