The original Gondola did indeed sink, and when re-floated some years later she proved to be in terrible condition and could not be rebuilt or restored. The current boat is a complete replica, built in 1980 by the apprentices at Barrow shipyard from completely new parts.
Thanks Dan, I'd forgotten that.
