T.S. Resolute (almost) Complete

Trimline (the interior fit-out contractors) finished work on the Resolute this week, so, except for a few odds and ends that need finishing off, the ship is complete, which is amazing news, and marks the near completion of a project that has stretched over 3 years, and cost over £1,000,000.

However, there is still a lot more work to do before the project is over, and the first group arrives in just over 3 months time...

• The site at chidham needs a massive amount of work completing, re-landscaping the sea wall, laying hundreds of square metres of new turf, and laying wooden decking on the side decks of the ship to name just a few of the Jobs.

• we need to fit the ship out with tables, chairs, bunks and all sorts of other items, which will make it complete
• we have raised about 90% of the cost of the project already, and have temporary funding secured to allow us to complete the ship in time, but still need to raise about £130,000.
• and much more...

If you feel you could Help us out finishing the project off, please get in touch, we are looking for volunteers to help us out with a wide variety of jobs, so If you'd like to get involved, whatever your skills are, whether your a photographer, a cook, a joiner or a physicist, get in touch with me at the centre on 01243 573375 and I'm sure there will be something you can get involved with, we will be running several volunteer days and weekends throughout the spring, or alternatively, if your free during the week, there are always jobs around that we would love the help with.

we'll try to get more pictures up here next week, but in the meantime, there's a slide show of the interior of the ship below, and if you can't wait to come down and see it for yourself, give us a ring and I'm sure we'll be able to show you round.
