What we do
Maritime Heritage Trust is a member led organisation which campaigns for a better deal for historic vessels and to safeguard the wider maritime heritage. We are the United Kingdom national member of European Maritime Heritage which aims to keep historic vessels sailing while meeting modern safety rules and we support our members on operational, local planning and similar challenges. Our Heritage Harbours campaign (joint with National Historic Ships United Kingdom) aims to help local groups safeguard vital harbour facilities and marine sites against hostile or over-development and loss of eg slipways, quaysides and riverside access. Our current webinars series (recordings on YouTube) looks at maritime heritage issues and events are advertised on the MHT website and Eventbrite.
