Research has identified permanent drydocking as the best conservation solution for 200 year old HMS Unicorn, and the Unicorn Preservation Society are now looking for a maritime heritage consultant to carry out an Options Appraisal on the conservation of HMS Unicorn once secure in a supporting cradle in a dry berth. The appraisal should consider how the Unicorn Preservation Society might safely manage the drying-out of the vessel through active and passive means and mitigate risk of accelerating decay.
