Ednamair

The 'Ednamair' has come out of retirement at last.

For many years she has been living with Aunty Edna, one of her name sakes but she has travelled to Falmouth in Cornwall, where our voyage began to take her rightful place in the museum for small boats. She is dressed for the occasion as she was in the Pacific Ocean, with her upright oars, as a mast her sails flotation collar and as many original clothes and artefacts as we can find.

We are now be able to share her with everyone

The Ednamair has been displayed at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth. She is currently taking part in their Endurance and Survival Exibition . Some of us went down to the opening of the exhibition, but all of us including Aunty Edna who with Aunty Mary gave us the money to buy Ednamair will be visiting the museum this summer to see her displayed in her new home.

Here are some images of the Ednamair from Douglas' book 'Last voyage of the Lucette'

This image below illustrates how the Robertson family, and Robin, all positioned themselves inside the dingy to ensure they could all fit in without the boat tipping over.
