Bringing the Whimbrel Home
We need to raise ?2m to bring back to the UK the last remaining World War II escort.

Liverpool has been chosen as the site for The Battle of the Atlantic memorial as it was the prime UK port for the delivery and despatch of cargoes, and the Headquarters Western Approaches - from where the Battle of the Atlantic was commanded - was in the city. Furthermore, HMS WHIMBREL was herself based in Liverpool during the Battle of the Atlantic.
? To establish a living memorial commemorating all those who served in the Battle of the Atlantic from 1939 to 1945, but especially those who lost their lives.
? To educate, to inspire and to give enjoyment to present and future generations by providing a permanent tangible example of a ship that fought in the Battle of the Atlantic.
Our fundraising campaign is aimed at purchasing the ship, to get her refitted, and then to transport her back to the UK.
