This vessel desperately needs saving from scrap. She is 106 years old and the last Teak on Oak Thames passenger vessel from the Thames in near original condition and is also a National Historic Ship.
She saved many lives from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940 and deserves to be saved and restored.
I am currently trying my best to save this vessel with the help of the D.L.S.R.T but any other help would be very much recieved.
