Project Details

On 5 June 2025, our conservation team completed the first full 3D scan of the Edwin Fox’s hull—an unprecedented digital survey in the ship’s history.

Benefits for Preservation

  • Precision Monitoring: Establishes an exact baseline for tracking structural changes over time.
  • Virtual Planning: Enables testing restoration methods in a digital environment before physical work.
  • Public Engagement: Interactive 3D visualizations are now available on our website for remote exploration.

This technological milestone equips us with powerful tools to safeguard the vessel and share its intricate details with audiences worldwide.

Testimonial
Really interesting and very cheap to enter. The ship itself is amazing to see -- so big! so real! -- but I learnt a lot from the museum displays too.

"Excellent price for what's on offer. I loved the upstairs room with the chronology of the boat, the documentary video about it, and also the more general history of shipping in the area. The ancient boat itself was the cherry on top. Great experience and thoroughly recommended!!"

Fantastic display and an amazing old ship in remarkable condition considering it's age. Built in 1853 the Edwin Fox has a rich and colourful history. Small gift and souvenir store. Open 7 days a week.
