Zebu Tall Ship Sinks as Director Jumps Ship.

 The charity known as Zebu Tall Ship is in deep water. It has been Declared a wreck!

It is a sad day when a historic ship sinks but we have to say.

What the hell has gone here.

The Zebu Tall Ship which seems to have been moored at the Albert Dock forever. Was to be moved to Bristol. Was it seaworthy?

They say yes, but ts now on its side in 10 feet of water.

It has also sank once before at The Albert Dock. https://tallshipzebu.org/

After getting to a port on 13th May it moored in Hollyhead and on 15th May 2021 the Master mariner Captain noticed it had broken free while he was in the navigation room watching CCTV. It subsequently sank while the captain and Boatswain were on board.

Unbelievable!

One of the Directors Wing Dash Nin Chan, an accountant terminated his links with the Zebu CIC, the day after on the 16th . 

The termination of the 16th was curiously dated as the 4th May 2021. Should we draw any conclusions from this. He was helping with a heritage lottery application. Is this now sunk, with the Zebu or was a grant received?

His office was registered in 110 Station Rd Chingford London EW 6AB. Strange place to have a ship in Liverpool registered?

Mr Chan originally from Portsmouth is involved in other training exercise ships.

This is big cash apparently.

The other director of the CIC is a Mr Gerrith Borrett who described himself as a, err Master Mariner, obviously not. He was onboard when the ship came away from its mooring and went down. 

We have to ask did Captain Pugwash tie the ropes correctly?

This is a disgraceful state of affairs and obviously it needs a new set of owners if it can be salvaged.

Has Liverpool been done over by taking the ship to Bristol and it all went wrong?

Just how much public money has been given to the cause of keeping this historic ship afloat.

A full investigation should be launched.
