Last Wooden Hull Tall Ship Could Be Lost
3 Sep
Summary
- A 126-year-old tall ship risks being dismantled.
- The vessel is the last working wooden hull topsail schooner.
- Urgent repairs are needed this winter to prevent destruction.
A 126-year-old tall ship named the Kathleen and May is in peril and may be dismantled if repairs are not funded. The vessel, currently situated in Gloucester Docks, requires immediate structural stabilization. This critical work must be completed this winter to prevent the ship from being taken apart. Volunteers are urgently seeking funds to ensure the ship's survival.
The Kathleen and May holds a unique status as the last working three-masted, wooden hull topsail schooner still in operation. Without the necessary financial resources for its stabilization and subsequent dry-dock repairs, this piece of maritime history is at severe risk of being lost forever.
