National Historic Ships

In 2006, I was employed as a consultant by National Historic Ships - the official voice for historic vessels in the UK.  Initially, I worked with them to update the National Register of Historic Vessels (NRHV)  - a database of over 1,000 historic vessels which can be seen online at www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk.

Infrastructure Audit

From July 2007 to February 2008 I was commissioned by National Historic Ships to undertake an Infrastructure Audit of all the skills and facilities available for the repair and maintenance of historic vessels in the UK. 

This project was directly in response to comments from owners of craft on the NRHV, who had experienced increasing difficulty in maintaining their historic ships in a world where old techniques and skills are dying out without the commercial demand for them.  

The project culminated in an online Directory of Skills & Services, listing over 500 craftsmen which is available via: www.shipshapenetwork.org.uk

Project Work

Since 2009, I have worked as a project manager for National Historic Ships undertaking policy and casework for them in addition to running my research business.
