Preservation of the Fleet Fund
Since the National Museum of the Royal Navy was established in 2009, we have worked tirelessly to save key historic ships, boats, submarines, and aircraft.
Conservation is a key part of our day-to-day activity and plays a vital part in not only preserving these historically important assets for today’s visitors, but allowing them to be enjoyed by future generations. Ongoing conservation of a historic fleet is a challenge that often requires specialist skills, and we are solely responsible for raising funds for our conservation projects.
Our collection includes unique vessels such as HMS Alliance, Britain’s only remaining Second World War submarine, HMS Trincomalee, the last remaining Royal Navy ship to be built in India, and the De Havilland Sea Vampire LZ551 that Captain ‘Winkle’ Brown used to make the first jet landing on an aircraft carrier. These vessels truly cannot be found anywhere else, and they tell important stories.
We have established the Preservation of the Fleet Fund, meaning that both companies and individuals can specifically donate to enable us to continue our vital conservation projects.
With your support we can continue to preserve some of the most historically important pieces of naval heritage. Some of our vessels, including HMS Caroline and HMS Victory, are part of the National Historic Fleet, and recognised as being of pre-eminent national or regional significance, and of high priority for preservation.
