Help fund community education.

Donation protected
Hi, We all are part of a community whether we feel it or not and the community I was brought up in placed food on the table of the UK. 200+ years of fishing industry sailing out of Grimsby. One of the sights after these trawlers sailed back after being away from family and friends in the dangerous waters for weeks, risking life and limb is the Dock Tower. The tower was a water tower used to operate the lock gates is 309 feet (94 m) high, 28 feet (8.5 m) wide at the base, and tapers gradually to 26 feet (7.9 m) below the first projection; its walls are 4 feet (1.2 m) thick and narrow to 3 feet (0.91 m) at the string course under the corbels.

I am a disabled model maker and I plan to build a scale model of the tower, once built it will go forward for auction and money raised will go to the Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby and the floating museum which is the trawler Ross Tiger, to help fund the education of future generations just what was and is is at risk to bring fish to the table. I have 5 generations of trawlermen and do k workers in my family and proud of everyone.
The UK fishing industry need our support and without proper education the future of the industry will be forgotten. Help me with cost of materials and additional costs to help with the education of future generations. Thank you.
