Episode Details

Severn, a historic 1912 yacht that sank days before WWI and lay forgotten for 13 years, is back on the water after a four-year, £160,000 restoration. Originally one of ten Rivers Class yachts for the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, she was salvaged in 1927 for just £25 and sailed for decades before being acquired in 2018 by the Arnside Sailing Club — a nod to her original builders. Crafted by one of England’s last traditional wooden boatbuilders, the restoration honors ancient skills and maritime heritage. With hopes of returning to her roots in 2028 for the 100th anniversary of her rediscovery, Severn’s comeback isn’t just about a boat — it’s a tribute to the Northwest’s seafaring past and a living link to the club’s storied history.
