The SS Robin, built in 1890, is the last remaining steam coaster in the world. She will soon be moved to a custom built pontoon barge which will support the old ship and serves as space for a floating museum. The pontoon recently arrived in Lowestoft in the UK. The SS Robin is expected to be lifted onto the pontoon on June 28th. Thanks to Alaric Bond for the heads up.
