Happy New Year's Eve from all at SS Freshspring. Here's to a better, brighter 2021. . . . . . #nye #newyearseve #byebye2020 #hello2021 #bideford #devon
What's it like to work on board a ship during Christmas? This great article by Hapag-Lloyd explains! hapag-lloyd.com/en/news-insigh…
Merry Christmas to you all, from everyone at the SS Freshspring Trust. Thank you for your continued support of our small charity throughout one of our toughest years.
After a successful Crowdfunding Campaign completed in January of this year, Freshspring now has an awning ready to use as soon as restrictions allow. The awning provides an undercover area on Freshspring's foredeck, making a range of different activities possible on board.
Have a watch of this brilliant video to find out more about SS Freshspring and her move to Bideford: youtube.com/watch?v=rycNDt…
Please consider leaving a legacy to SS Freshspring in your Will. It will allow to continue our heritage work long into the future, preserving the ship so that we can inspire the next generation of maritime careers. Contact us to find out more: ssfreshspring.co.uk/contact
Throwback Thursday - a look at Freshspring's archived photos... It's hard to picture this scene in December, right before Christmas!
Have you finished your Christmas shopping? If you've still got bits to get (and hurry, last post for first class is the 21st!) please consider using easyfundraising to raise much-needed funds for SS Freshspring - it won't cost you anything. More here: easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/steamsh…
Would you consider maritime as a career choice? A major role of the Trust is to engage with children from an early age to show them that opportunities exist within the maritime industry.
Our Freshspring Steam Beer is a delicious 4.2% golden hoppy beer with a distinct and clean edge - and boy is it drinkable. It can be ordered by emailing [email protected] or by phoning 01237 420 492.
