Beef Wellington Posted May 17, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2013 I'm glad people are starting to have the foresight to try to save these historically significant ships, so many have been lost. I know the Unicorn Trust is also looking to secure lottery funding which I pray will be forthcoming, HMS Unicorn is also getting in a bit of a sad way and I hope people come to their senses before she gets beyond a point of no return. For those not familiar with the ship, she was placed into ordinary immediately after completion and has never had masts stepped, as such, she is arguably the most original of all the sailing ships in existence. Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!" In the shipyard: HMS Jason (c.1794: Artois Class 38 gun frigate) Queen Anne Royal Barge (c.1700) Finished: HMS Snake (c.1797: Cruizer Class, ship rigged sloop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnacle Bill Posted May 19, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 19, 2013 The £M1 grant will keep her safe for a little longer but it is the £M12 lottery grant we need for the full restoration. Keep fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
