T. S. ENDEAVOUR
Support/Recovery Boat
DEDICATION

The Sea Cadet at T.S. Endeavour have upgraded their support/ recovery boat with a brand new 4.700 metre (15ft) RAMCO Aluminium boat with a Johnson 30 and trailer. The package was purchased through Harbourview Marine by the cadet unit with the exceptional support of the RSA, the Ex Naval Men's Association, the Lion Foundation, the Hillary Commission and the local community. At a ceremony held in the Army Hall Lt Jones thanked the visitors for attending and called upon Reverend Cannon Bruce White to bless the craft and all who sail in her.
