I had a Costa coffee this morning and was reading about it on my tablet via the Guardian. I'm hoping they do a documentary on it. 
seems as though they might have changed their minds about its future - was going to be raised and restored now apparently talk is it will go for salvage
seems a shame if that is what happens 
To be honest it doesn't look that damaged so far, more algae covered than anything 
thanks for the link Mrs H, I'm watching it on and off
