It's on the HLF web site here: http://www.hlf.org.uk/news/Pages/Skillsforfuture.aspx Ellesmere Port got £110k <quote> Keeping History Afloat: Traditional Boat Building – The Waterways Trust, Ellesmere Port The Waterways Trust will use its HLF grant of £110,200 to run a training scheme for skills relating to traditional boat building and the conservation of historic vessels. Working in partnership with National Historic Ships, the Trust will take on three trainees over an 18-month period at the Heritage Boatyard based at the National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port. It will equip trainees with a variety of hands-on skills, targeting both 18- to 25-year-olds and older trainees who live locally. There is a significant shortage of people to conserve the 1,000 ships on the National Register of Historic Vessels and this project will make an important contribution to the sustainable future of the UK’s maritime heritage. </quote> -- David Morris e: [email protected] w: www.brassedoff.net
