Based on the shape of the derrick I'd say it's reasonably old.


I'm assuming it's what this article is referring to

Though there was another Dolphin job here last year.

Never been on a Dolphin rig, but all I've heard can't be describes as complimentary.

In that photo the design of the derrick looks a lot newer than the design of the hull. That's got to be a 70's hull.

* Heads off to google *

It's not the cold that bothers me, it's the wind lashing the rain about. I swear to fcuk, I only have to think about leaving the house and it pisses down.

The photos of the mural and rig are shocking cos my nephew is running around just out of shot... Couldn't even get close to the rig! The buggers have moved it down the harbour and it's almost got it's own security team now :evil:

Anyway, some shots of the top included for scale.

What you don't see is the knife in his right hand ;)
There's a certain amount of "smile for the camera (if you know what's good for you)" in that expression
