The Collection
The Trust has been preserving historic vessels from the early 1990's and now has one of the largest collections of military related craft. More recently the Trust has succeeded in obtaining funding from the Chancellor's LIBOR Fund to create the "Memorial Flotilla" - a collection of fully operational craft representing those which took part in the defence of the realm throughout the 20th Century. These include WW1 steam powered craft, several WW2 vessels and a landing craft which took part in the Falklands Campaign.
The Trust also looks after historic craft which are owned by third parties and which help tell the story of small craft in the operation of the Royal Navy.
