Historic chapter and current chapter

The Samingo II restoration is retained as provenance. The current Samphire chapter records what is now being verified, maintained and prepared for longer passages.

Historic restoration work documented under previous ownership is recorded for provenance and is excluded from Chris-paid current ownership and Atlantic-refit expenditure totals.
