THE owner of the Lincoln Castle has defended his decision to have the boat demolished.

In an exclusive statement provided to the Mail, Colin Johnson said he had no choice but to scrap the former Humber ferry, which was "severely corroded and in danger of sinking".

Mr Johnson, 69, of Cleethorpes, said he was told by the vessel's insurers in April that they could not continue insuring the boat, which was berthed in Grimsby's Alexandra Dock.
