History
The historic tall ship is owned by Mersey Heritage Trust.[1] The wooden sailing ship was built in 1938. It was a former Baltic trader vessel. It is based in Liverpool.[2]
In August 2013 the ship listed to port, with no-one aboard, and was subsequently stabalised.[2]
Zebu sank at her moorings[1] near to the Pumphouse Pub on 4 September 2015.[2] Work to raise her started on Friday 25th September 2015, and finished on Tuesday 29th September 2015, by salvage teams from Hughes Sub-Surface Engineering, Waterwitch Engineering and Carmet Tug Company.[1] Three days after Zebu was refloated, she was towed from outside of Tate Liverpool to Canning Dock, near to the Merseyside Maritime Museum. As of 16 October, the cause of her sinking was unknown. The ship will be repaired.[1]
