An historical naval vessel known as "Prince Charles' Warship" could be saved and restored if enough money is raised.
Bronington has been languishing partially submerged in Birkenhead docks after sinking at its moorings six years ago. The connection to Prince Charles goes back to his naval career, when he was Commanding Officer of the minesweeper for 10 months in 1976.
Fundraising had already begun to prevent further deterioration of the vessel. Now a dive survey carried out by marine specialists has revealed that the ship is in a satisfactory condition to be refloated.
