Welcome in - Bude's unique Sea Lock
On the sunning evening of Friday 16th June, Bude Harbour welcomes four visiting boats, entering through a successful operation of the Sea Lock.
The successful maneuvers were overseen by harbour Master, Paul Vincent and an gathering of spectators. Cornwall Harbors Manager Chris Jones remarked on how good it was to have four boats in together again.
The design of sea lock is as old as the canal, celebrating its 200th birthday this year. The gates and hand winches are Grade II Listed heritage features, but still helping the harbour fulfil its duty to provide portage today.
