The Advisory Committee
The Chair of National Historic Ships was appointed by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and serves ad hominem and in an honorary capacity.
In addition to the Chair, up to eleven members form the committee. These members are selected by interview for their knowledge, experience and standing in the field of historic ship preservation and to provide both regional and specialist representation. Three places are reserved for representatives of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each member serves for a four year term. The posts are honorary and only travelling expenses are reimbursed.
The Committee is supported by a director, the office manager, the policy and project manager, an administrator, two volunteers. Consultants are engaged as necessary. The Committee has a small annual grant with which to pursue its objectives.
Two sub-committees have been established - Finances and General Purposes and Registration, with a further Challenge Fund working group.
