Build a rock levee around her and pump the water out. A crane barge and a couple of loads of rock , shouldnt be too expensive. Any rich Aussies? Maybe Richard Branson, he's a Billionaire , he wouldnt even miss a couple million.

Building a coffer dam is very expensive. Just pumping the water out costs $5,000 a day. Before doing this the ship would need to be supported or else the lack of support from the water would be disasterous. The current plan to raise Cerberus on a submerged platform costs $7million. We plan to spend $400,000 bracing the turrets this year.

The four guns are on the seafloor about 20 metres on the seaward side of Cerberus at Half Moon Bay (near Melbourne), Victoria, Australia

Nordenfeldt guns. Very rare like the ship itself.

This masterpiece must be restored.

Must.

[kpadmirer]

The gun looks in pretty good shape for being exposed to the elements for 83 years.

They need to restore the Cerberus, last of her kind.
