Golden Galleon
Photographs of former pleasure boat the Golden Galleon
By Neil Cox
People who read this page may know of the sad demise of the Golden Galleon which was broken up at St Olaves late in 2006. She was a motor launch before being used as a pleasure boat. The first photograph shows her moored on the quay side near Haven Bridge House. The second shows her in a dilapidated state at St Olaves in 2006 waiting to be broken up.
The last photograph is from Brian Beech whose comment can be read below. I shows the GOLDEN GALLEON in 1959,the person on the left is Charlie Roberts (mate) next is Roy Goodings (skipper he later became a river pilot) then Brian Beech (2nd engineer) and Paul George (chief engineer).
