I HAVE just seen the article on the tug tender Calshot in today’s Echo (October 2) and can’t believe what I have actually read.

Surely ABP could find a suitable location for this historic vessel to be sited, or perhaps Southampton City Council could consider placing it in Mayflower Park or beside the Mayflower memorial opposite the pier.

There are many possible locations when you stop to think this through.

Perhaps the Echo could start a petition, similar to the one which saved the old Gaumont, now the flourishing Mayflower Theatre, just a thought!
