About us

National Historic Ships UK is an independent advisory body based at Royal Museums Greenwich under the terms of a service level agreement and operates to a specific remit set down at the time of its establishment in 2006 by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport. Its five year focusses on the long-term sustainability of the historic vessel sector.
