HELP bring 75 year old Appledore ferry 'Swiftsure' home.

Donation protected
We're bringing the 75 year old ferry the Swiftsure back to Appledore. She was an icon of Appledore for over 60 years. . She was built by Hinks boatbuilders in 1951, for the Johns family. She ferried many thousands of tourists and locals until she finished being the only ferry across the river in 2011. She moved to the Isle of Wight after she was sold and worked as a ferry there before she retired. The current owner plans to dispose of her and will be breaking her up in September. After a previous unsuccessful attempt to fundraise to save her, we are fundraising again to save her and bring her home. A place has been found to store and renovate her, until a permanent home can be found for her. Can you please help bring her back with a small donation by following this link
