Friends of Falls of Clyde want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. We all have a lot to be thankful for and we appreciate everyone who has supported our mission.

We are also happy to announce an educational event coming up on January 2, 2016. Below is the notice that was recently issued.

Why Should the Community Support Maritime Heritage?
 
Please join us as we continue to celebrate Falls of Clyde’s 137 birthday with a special public presentation by Dr. Ray Ashley, President/CEO of the Maritime Museum of San Diego.  Dr. Ashley will discuss his recent presentation to the 17th Annual International Congress of Maritime Museums in Hong Kong, The World’s Great Historic Ships: A Multinational UNESCO World Heritage Site.  He will also discuss the contributions that historic ships make to their waterfronts and their much needed role in bringing an understanding of the critical importance of the maritime industry to the community. Falls of Clyde is one of the historic ships mentioned in his presentation.
 
The talk will be held on Saturday, January 2, 2016 at 6 p.m. at the Foreign Trade Zone, Homer A. Maxey Int’l Trade Resource Center, M-401, Pier 2, 521 Ala Moana Blvd., Honolulu.
 
The talk is sponsored by Friends of Falls of Clyde, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve and restore Falls of Clyde for her historical and educational importance to the maritime history of Hawaii and the world. See our website at

December 12 is the 137th birthday of our wonderful lady. Our annual celebration is low key, but we take pride in being able to honor our wonderful lady. As part of the celebration we put a lei on the ship made available to us by the Clean Islands Council. Here are some pictures from the celebration.

​It is always great when something shows up from a supporter when least expected. Here is a picture of the fully rigged Falls of Clyde and gives us a guide to where we want to get with our restoration. Here is the picture we received.

​It is also important to get historical information from people who are interested in our work. Check out our Did You Know? page to see what we recently learned from the granddaughter of a man who rescued the ship before she made her journey to Hawaii.
 
Finally, we received word that Dr. Ray Ashley of the San Diego Maritime Museum will be in Honolulu later this month and we are working with him to give a public forum on work that he has been involved with and how Falls of Clyde fits in. More information when final plans are arranged.

    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.
