Radio ship leaves lay up

Fifty years after the launch of Radio Caroline and the birth of pirate radio, the ex-Radio Caroline ship Ross Revenge has been moved from its berth at Tilbury docks to a midstream mooring in the River Blackwater. The vessel has lain at Tilbury for some 10 years during which it has been lovingly restored.
