Salvage Squad

Massey Shaw Fireboat (2x3)

Air date: Jan 20, 2003

Suggs and the team accept the challenge to restore a Thirties London fire boat which, despite having an impressive wartime record, was left to rot alongside the Woolwich Ferry in the 1970s. Ex-fireman Phil Wray discovered the vessel and immediately set about restoring it with the help of his friends, but the biggest task - rebuilding the massive six-tonne engines - has been left for the squad
