Last week we have been host to The Prince’s Trust TEAM Project from Clacton-on-sea. The TEAM initiative was set up by the Prince’s Trust to help young people from the ages of 16 to 25 build confidence and find employment or training on work based projects across the UK. We’ve had 12 of them join us on site since the start of the week, and this is what they’ve been up to.

 The mezzanine floor for the rail shed arrived Monday, and the installation is already under way.

We had a very busy day at the Project at the end of January. The two oak trees that are going to make up the keel of the ship arrived at the yard, and were unloaded with the help of Trinity house.

Today, we held an open day for the public to come down and see what the Project is all about. On show we had a wood turner, merchandise stall, block and tackle exercise, knot and rope demonstration, caulking exercise, apprentice information, and ship plans. We also had a small ceremony of the first oak cut for the Mayflower vessel herself.
