Purchase of Storage Racking for Historic Ships Workshop Bays 2 & 4

The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) are leading on the conservation of HMS Victory to ensure the long-term preservation of a world-class historic vessel and an exemplar of a Royal Navy capital warship from the Age of Sail. The conservation work includes the replacement of all external and some internal planking and the reinstatement of the ships masts and rigging. The works will see a significant increase in the requirements for storage and the National Museum is redeveloping its Historic Ships Workshop facility in order to better handle timber and store materials including large dimension artefacts of significant historical value.
