Belle Brandon Sinks!

This morning the Belle Brandon can be seen resting on the shallow bottom of the Huon River at Franklin. It was floating last night, and I briefly considered taking a photo of it then. My mother-in-law has a lovely painting of this ketch, done by her sister. I understand it is thought to be the second oldest boat in Tasmania.Belle Brandon, sunk, Franklin, Tas - 1st March 2009
