DISCUSSIONS will be held this year over the future of the historic ex-fishing boat Pilot Us amid concern over its condition. Shetland Islands Council and Shetland Amenity Trust, which looks after the boat, are due to speak this year to examine âall optionsâ. In a letter to Lerwick Community Council, museum curator Dr Ian Tait said that under current budgets only âbasic maintenanceâ can be carried out on the wooden boat. 11 of 13Adverts The motor-powered Pilot Us, which is nearly 100 years old and is docked outside the museum, has been used in recent Shetland Boat Weeks. âShe belongs to the council, and the Shetland Museum & Archives gets its budget from them â for all the elements of the service we operate,â Tait wrote.
