New report outlines the future for Peggy

Manx National Heritage has published a report on the future strategy for a 232-year-old yacht at the Nautical Museum in Castletown.

The report was requested by Tynwald earlier this year, and explores options for the Peggy's relocation back to Castletown.

As one of the oldest wooden boats to survive, the 18th century yacht and her boathouse, along with the story of her owner Captain George Quayle, is one of the most significant elements of MNH's collection. 

Connie Lovel, Executive Director at Manx National Heritage, says the report explores a range of options for her ongoing preservation and future accommodation.
