HMS Endurance 2007

isn't that ship that almost sank on it's way back.

excellent drawing.

yes heuhen, after a serious fire in her engine room one could say she had a wee bit of a water ingress problem. but due to the crews efforts she was kept afloat and ported. but after an assessment it was deemed un economical to repair the ship so she was replaced by HMS Protector.

any plans for HMS Protector. Charybdis?....

Great work!

Thanks for the comments.

The ship started taking on water in the machinery spaces when the sea water strainers were being cleaned. Apparently she came close to sinking but was brought back to the UK on MV Target. The repair cost was about £30m which the government deemed too costly so she's currently sitting in Portsmouth Harbour awaiting disposal.

I will have a go at Protector at some point. It will be another freehand job though, as I can't find any plans for her.

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

I was kinda expecting the sailing Endurance after all the sailing ships appearing as of late but I'm not disappointed by this either. Lovely work.
