Bristol	Medway Queen	Originally built in 1924 and serving on the River Thames and Medway, the vessel with a distinguished record of evacuating troops from Dunkirk in 1940 was cared for by the Medway Queen Preservation Society at her mud berth on the Hoo Peninsula near the mouth of the Medway. In 2006 a lot-tery grant of over GBP 1.8 m was obtained which is enabling the rebuilding of the hull as the first step to eventual full rebuild. Re-usable items were recovered from the hull and put into storage pending the construction of a new hull, which started in the spring of 2009 in Bristol.	Click here
