Ready to set sail with a twist of history? Join the Humber Keel and Sloop Preservation Society, right here in sunny Hull! Chris and the gang are on a mission to keep the iconic “Comrade” and “Amy Howson” ships sailing smoothly and to remind everyone of the glory days of Hull's docks and the mighty rivers Humber, Trent, and Ouse.
These beauties have been hauling goods since way back in the 12th century, and Chris needs all hands on deck to maintain them. Whether you're a whizz with tools, a seasoned sailor, or just keen to learn the ropes, the society has a spot for you. Plus, you’ll be supporting a registered charity (that’s #503747 for the nerds out there).
The society's volunteers, powered by donations, keep these vessels ship-shape and ready to rock. Every penny goes straight into mooring, insurance, fuel, safety gear, and crucial repairs. And guess what? They’re part of the Hull Yorkshire's Maritime City project. It’s a big job, but they're up for it!
If you're into history, you'll love that their archive is stashed at the Hull History Centre and packed with cool finds. From Saxons and Vikings to the industrial revolution and beyond, there's plenty to discover.
Fancy giving it a go? Reach out to Chris via the contact details provided and dive into a world of exciting sailing events and hands-on activities. It's a great way to meet folks and enjoy the rich maritime history of the region!
