We have had comments from supporters who want to be engaged in saving the ship. Now is the time. We will be contacting some of those people directly to solicit their ideas and encourage others to contact us with ideas. Remember, we are not trying to convince them of the importance of historic preservation, but rather show them how we will make preservation work.
Our meeting with AG attorneys representing the DOT took place on June 23. It was an amicable meeting with positive, open conversation. The message from DOT is that they appreciate our efforts to preserve Falls of Clyde, but need to balance that against the role the Harbors Division has. In the spirit of cooperation, DOT has offered us an opportunity to present a plan to show how Friends of Falls of Clyde will move forward with our mission in a reasonable timeframe. They need details and a timeline. If the plan is accepted, which we will work diligently to make happen, the removal of the ship will be retracted. Our deadline for the plan is July 15. If for some reason the plan is not accepted, the ship will be impounded, so our incentive to submit a realistic plan is great.

Can she be moved to another location, where time won't be so important?

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. Archives
