Costs keep spiralling
It is very expensive to pay the shipwright’s wages, and source the materials required. Our current hurdle is raising enough to purchase the wood to replace the wooden keel. We have been running a series of fundraising initiatives.
Fundraising initiative 1. A Book written to tell Jane Hannah MacDonald’s story – LAUNCHING THIS SATURDAY!!

We have been working hard to raise funds to maintain momentum with the renovation work. Fantastic progress has been made with a team of volunteers helping to speed up progress, contribute a valuable set of skills and provide labour for free.
