She has lingered on tied up to the city historic King’s Wharf for quite some time waiting for that ‘new life'. With the passing of her custodian and owner the time has come to find what that life might be.It has been suggested that she is “just so much rubbish and scrap iron” but she is more than that – much more.
So, the call is out for suggestions, proposals and recommendations as to what that ‘new life’ might look like, could look like, should look like.
Whatever it is, she needs and deserves dignity in that new life. Likewise her stories need to told, to live on and grow given the important role she has played in contributing to the city’s heritage. The the layering of the storytelling that belongs to her and the city's 'placedness' is something much more than significant.The call is out for ideas, your ideas, about how she might be reused, recycled, reinvented, restored, reimagined, rewhatevered starts now!
