    HMAS Diamantina? Looks absolutely gorgeous. Very jealous of the drydock.

    Being in an actual dry dock has given them an inertia that has so far overcome being prime southbank real estate

    The MV Cape Don is one of the largest historic vessels in Australia, so the choice of drydocks is limited. (Sadly can’t build one out of mud and bucket the water out)
