The Hulk in St. John's Lake
As I'm stuck in sick bay waiting to be sent on sick leave ashore I thought I'd try and find out a bit more about the history of Raleigh. Anyone know what the hulk used to be that sits down in St John's Lake by NMT or what it used to be used for?

Yeah that one Soleil. I'm sure I've seen that green fella working in Victory galley tommo and the other is a typical dutch matelot ripped on 'roids I think.

These are them, I remember as a lad recovering old Canon balls from the lake, I have heard it was a zeroing range.

'Kinnel that brings back memories. Used to dig for bait there when I was a kid and whiff for bass when the tide was flooding.

Here is Penlee Battery in action, I used to mess around down in the tunnels and shell bays when I was a kid, god knows what would have happened if we had got hurt.
