The S.S. Master Society is finding it difficult, in these tough economic times, to give the MASTER the TLC she deserves. An old wooden ship does not repair itself. But she is the only one left.
We look to the City where she was built, and which she helped to build, and the Province who classified her as a Heritage Object; we look to the industries of which she is the only early survivor. Many people and a very large number of companies and organizations have put in countless hours and much material and money over the years in order to save this one little ship.
The MASTER has encountered quite a few problems over the years whilst in retirement from commercial service. She has been 'sunk' twice, once by vandalism and the other by miscalculation of the shipyard that had her under its charge. Each time she has reappeared along with the renewed determination of the Society members to continue the restoration.
The Province and the City have helped, and continue to do so. Marine industries, Oil companies, and many other companies have been more than generous with donations of supplies and materials. Many individuals and organizations have supported her with gifts of money and by purchases of souvenirs and regalia.
This has been support for which we are extremely grateful - without it, the ship would be long gone; if not forgotten.
There is still much to be done.
There always will be!
All manner of support, in cash or in kind, for this 'Heritage' vessel, will be acknowledged with a Tax Receipt, for we are a Federal Registered Charity. For more information on how you can help, please contact Our Society President Click here to email Chris OR call him at 604 726 2583 Thank You!
