I was in Gloucester yesterday and hoped to see her but she was nowhere to be found (in the Historic Docks), anyone know her location?

Hi,
Looking at the Massey Shaw facebook page it looks like she is inside a shed/barn somewhere close to the docks having her last finishing touches done. It looks like she will take part in the Gloucester Tall Ships event between 24-27th May. Looks like she will then make her 3 stage trip to west india dock/st katherine dock sometime in June. Info from  https://www.facebook.com/masseyshaw and http://www.londonfireboat.com/

Regards
Steve

Hi All,
My name is David Rogers and I am a Director of the Massey Shaw Society and Project Manager. It appears that you have been trying to locate our vessel in Gloucester. Massey is being worked on by Tomy Nielsen in Gloucester Dock. The boat is in their main shed by the dry dock. If you wish to visit her then please let me know - [email protected]

Work is nearing completion and she will be back in the water in the next few weeks ready to undergo some testing for her MCA certification. We intend to stay in Gloucester for the Tall Ships event at the end of May(24th -27th) and will be working with the Gloucester Fire and Rescue Service to pump some water in the Dock. Massey will then commence her 550 mile Return to the Thames, making the longest journey that she has ever made in her career.
We will be holding some Open Days in May so you are welcome to come and pay a visit.
