The work will focus on treating and restoring the timbers and reassembling the vessel. Daring Rescue Group’s Larry Paul said while the work was being done, volunteers would start the search for a permanent location for the ship to be displayed.

The vessel has a permit to stay outside the museum for the next three years while it gets restored. The plan is to create a purpose-built facility, he said, called the Daring Discovery Centre. “We can’t start work until [we get] further funding, so we are looking for people who are keen to help”.
