There has been a lot of positive publicity in Scotland which has been picked up here. We have gotten an important story in the StarAdvertiser and the Historic Hawaii Foundation has communicated to its membership of preservation advocates that financial support is needed to help underwrite the move. At this time we are still waiting to hear about Matson’s willingness to provide support for this historic project.
Excellent news came this month. David O’Neill finalized the agreement with Sevenstar Yacht Transport and a copy of the scope of the project was given to the Harbors Division. The target date for the repatriation of Falls of Clyde to start is February 3, 2019 with the expected arrival in Scotland on or about March 28, 2019. The local team handling logistics in Hawaii are now in direct contact with Sevenstar so planning for the move will move ahead quickly.
