Most of the below-water hull is still present, though covered by 5mm double-plating all round, done in 1982-3, with the external appearance of welding rather than rivets.

Suffice to say that towards the end of her life, Lilian meets an old flame and chooses to join his life of homelessness, despite being financially independent. Maybe she was really crazy but it seemed to me that she was to aware of being crazy and could stop if she wanted to. It currently inhabits Liwonde National Park (LNP) and a few cluster groups occur in the surrounding forests outside LNP. She's published eight books of fiction, including the multiple prize-winners 'The Secret River', 'The Lieutenant', 'The Idea of Perfection', and 'Lilian's Story'. Quite easy to immerse oneself in the novel, great build up to background of Lillian and then the story went ‘off the boil’.Lilian's is to eat and it's not long before she is obese and subjected to horrible bullying by other children.

Repairs to the superstructure and interior have also been faithful, such as replicating damaged panelling with matching wood and using the original drawings as templates for areas where the original was too damaged to be resuscitated. This is my third Grenville novel, and so far they are all very different, and my respect for her writing is still growing. With help form her aunt, she managed to be released from the 'loony bin' after a lengthy stay and took up residence in a flat in Sydney. Princess Astrid of Norway was also in attendance, as were her friends Roger Moore and his Swedish wife Kiki Tholstrup.Previously used as a mobile residential home since 1935 when she was first based in the UK, the vessel was acquired by the Windsor Sea Cadets in 1968. Her father has her sent to an institution where she is diagnosed as a psycho-pathological exhibitionist. People will always bring her up in conversation if they see her, just like people would have done with Lil. Anyway, I’ve written a longer article about the whole experience for Kate Pullinger’s The Writing Platform.
