SAVE HMS PRESIDENT CAMPAIGN

Download

© Licensed to London News Pictures. 06/08/2016. Historic WWI warship HMS President pictured languishing at Chatham Docks today. The HMS President Preservation Trust which looks after her say she is very likely to be scrapped, almost 100 years after the war, after losing out on heritage lottery funding. A fundraising campaign has been launched as well as a petition calling on the Goverment to save the vessel which was a popular fixture on the Victoria Embankment for over 90 years until she was moved away from her berth in February this year to enable works on the Thames Tideway Tunnel super sewer project. Funds are needed to refit the ship and pay for a new mooring in the City.
