Update on previous. Beatrice Maud was on display at the Morwhellam Quay open-air museum in Devon until around 2002. After which, she was moved to the River Lynher in Saltash, the Cornwall side of the River Tamar. She was sold to the new owners of a local boatyard, and she remains in a severely neglected state on the bank of the river, with the ironwork, deck and port side missing. Apparently, a great-grand daughter of the original Beatrice Maud tracked her down and the present owners gave her the transom of the skiff, which was still with her. Last contact with the owners was in May 2010 where they indicated that they would probably break her up in 2011. A sad end to a great old lady.
