No permanent home yet for 'Peggy'
An MHK says plans for the Nautical Museum in Castletown don't need to be grand, just a basic structure to house 'The Peggy'
A recent funding bid was made by Manx National Heritage to redevelop the site however it was unsuccessful.
Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston cited high costs to build a 'world class' facility which would have housed 'Peggy'.
It's been suggested a future bid can be submitted as there are hopes to find a suitable centre for the ancient boat, but Minister Johnston says other 'funding sources' would be needed.
MNH's proposals were expected to cost a total of £6.13 million, with a £4 million bid made to the Economic Strategy Fund last year, in addition to the £2 million already promised by other sources.
Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse says unrealistic targets are getting in the way:
