| A very dramatic picture taken in 1991 of the rescue of the crew off the Ross Revenge which ran aground on the Goodwin Sands. Not many ships have survived this watery trap but the Ross Revenge did, she is now re-painted and looking quite nice compared to the battered hulk you see above. She now broadcasts sporadically on Restricted Service Licences around the south coast of England using an RF power of 1 watt, 49,999 less than she used as a pirate. |

| The Ross Revenge as she looks today, freshly painted and looking like new. Since the broadcasting bill of 1991 Caroline has not broadcasted from the North Sea for fear of prosecution, injury or worse, the new radio bill makes it an offence just to be on a radio ship. There is no safety in the International Waters off the coast of the UK anymore, what a shame. |

| The Ross Revenge with a 'T' antenna system that replaced the 300ft lattice tower which is pictured on the opening page of this site. The tower collapsed into the sea after the storms of 1987, after months of temporary antennas the 'T' antenna was finally used in 1988, reception in the north east of england was quite good after dark. Later in1988 i built myself a medium wave loop frame ariel, then i could listen to Caroline 558 easily through the daylight hours. |
