Heritage Marine Foundation

Downs Road Boatyard, Blackwater River, Maldon. The Foundation provides training and apprenticeships to keep heritage boatbuilding craft skills alive: such as rigging, metalworking, engineering and woodworking. Currently the apprentices are involved in the restoration of the 'Torbay Lass' built in 1923 and one of the last Brixham Trawlers to be built. The rebuild of Torbay Lass is managed by a lead shipwright with 6 young people getting hands on experience of rebuilding a 102-year-old wooden sailing vessel. Taken with a Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1.
