An image based on the total refurbishment of an iconic Cornish fishing boat, the SS19 Ripple one of the few existing prow sterned or double ended Cornish Luggers , once the epitome of the craft of shipwrights in Cornwall and therefore an essential element of indigenous cultural influence. The vessel is now the basis for environmental and educational maritime research.
