Jagten er gået ind på donationer for at bevare et af verdens ældste krigsskibe

I en skotsk havneby kæmper bevaringsfolk for at redde den 200 år gamle HMS Unicorn, en af verdens sidste overlevende krigsskibe fra sejlskibenes æra.

HMS Unicorn, det tredjeældste krigsskib, der stadig flyder, har modtaget en livline på 1 million dollars fra Storbritanniens National Lottery, hvilket har sat gang i et ambitiøst bevaringsprojekt på 12 millioner dollars. Men tiden er knap for denne maritime skat.

"Unicorn er et symbol på Dundees rige maritime historie og risikerer at gå tabt uden støtte," siger Matthew Bellhouse Moran, administrerende direktør for bevaringsforeningen, der står for skibets restaurering. "Vi har akut brug for støtte fra enkeltpersoner, virksomheder og organisationer."

Unicorn giver et unikt indblik i flådehistorien. Bygget umiddelbart efter Napoleonskrigene fik hun aldrig master eller rigning, men fungerede i hele sin tjenestetid som trænings- og depotfartøj. I store dele af det 20. århundrede var hun base for reservister, inden hun trådte ud af flådens tjeneste i slutningen af 1960’erne.

Nu fungerer skibet som et flydende museum i Dundees havn, men kræver omfattende restaureringsarbejde som en del af et større projekt til fornyelse af havnefronten. Bevaringsforeningen har en frist til april for at skaffe yderligere 820.000 dollars for at sikre hele projektets 12 millioner dollars i finansiering, skriver Maritime Executive.
