Terms and Rules
1. Applications
Please note: Grants cannot be made retrospectively
- Applications must be made online
- A full breakdown of costs is required with the application for any grant. This should include the estimated cost and breakdown of the conference, training or project.
- Only those vessels that have been registered for at least 6 months will be eligible for a grant.
- All applicants should state their timescale e.g. date of conference/training course, project schedule, date of events or festivals.
- For sustainability awards where the project involves physical works, the application should include photographs indicating present condition and plans and drawings of the proposed scheme. Each application will be assessed on its own merits. National Historic Ships will be looking for evidence that proposed projects bring good value for money.
- Applications must be able to demonstrate they have the capacity to undertake the work successfully.
- One of the key criteria for vessels to be registered on the National Register of Historic Vessels (NRHV) is that the vessel is permanently based within the UK. Therefore, any grant awarded is subject to the vessel remaining in the UK. In the event of a vessel being sold abroad within a year of receipt of the grant, the vendor will be responsible for returning the grant to National Historic Ships. If the vessel is put on the market, we reserve the right to withhold the award pending confirmation of the outcome of the sale. If the vessel remains for sale, we may withdraw the award after a six month review from the date of first notification.
