In 2019 Terry Yarwood, then chairman of TTCT, said Calshot was the last surviving D-Day headquarters ship. He added: Southampton should be proud that such an important vessel has survived for 90 years. Unfortunately there s a lack of understanding that this ship is a unique survivor and the people in power have a responsibility to ensue she has a future. Now the vessel has been bought by Woodshack following 14 months of talks with the TTCT. Chairman Richard Hellyer said Woodshack would restore Calshot using the skills and expertise of more than 150 people employed by the company. He added: This will be the first restoration project planned at the refurbished James Wharf facilities, which are just a few hundred yards from where the vessel was built in 1929 at the Thornycroft yard on the River Itchen.
