The main work this period has been on the Friends of Falls of Clyde Business Plan, which we need to have in place by the time we again meet with the Harbors Division leaders in late August. The idea is to show how we will be able to sustain Falls of Clyde as a museum ship after she is restored. Since she was a standalone museum ship prior to the building of the Hawaii Maritime Center, we are confident that she can be so again, as long as we have the pier location to accept visitors. Of course, the main issue is that her drydock must be completed before we can begin the restoration work that will bring paying visitors aboard. At this point it is likely it will not be until sometime in 2016 that we will have the funds for the drydock and subsequent restoration work will take us into 2017, so the business plan execution is a couple of years away.

Work on the 2015 National Maritime Heritage Grant was in full focus this period as we have until August 3 to submit it. We have learned much from the two previous applications and are confident we will meet all requirements for acceptance of our drydock project. 

You will also notice that we are constructing a thermometer to show the progress we are making toward our capital campaign goal.

    We know that there is great interest in the future of the Falls of Clyde. There is a lot going on that the Board of Directors is dealing with, so we felt that keeping stakeholders involved through a report on our website is the easiest way to reach our worldwide audience.
