Support Us to Maintain The Edwin Fox Ship

As an aging wooden ship, the Edwin Fox needs constant maintenance to keep her accessible to the public and preserve her for future generations. The Edwin Fox Preservation Trust is a key partner in this task.

The Trust has several aims:

  • to fundraise for the maintenance of the ship,
  • to fund research and education related to the Edwin Fox
  • to help develop and promote new preservation techniques that will help conserve the ship.

The Trust deed means that all money donated to the Trust must be spent on the ship. It cannot be used for the day to day running of the museum.

The Trust has recently funded the preservation of the anchor windlass and is an important part of the current preservation project.

"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!!"

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.

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.
