WELLINGTON is the last surviving dedicated Battle of the Atlantic convoy escort in Europe, the last Grimsby class sloop and the last surviving warship built at Devonport Dockyard. The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest fought battle in WW2 with both the Royal and Merchant navies fighting this together to ensure vital supplies, people and goods reached our war-stricken shores.

She is of local, national and international importance.

However, it is a never-ending task and we need your support to be able to continue to take care of her, conserving her and preserving her against the natural elements that surround her.

All donations, large or small, are welcome, and much needed as we undergo a vital revitalisation programme following the departure of the HCMM in April 2023.

Our ambition is for HMS WELLINGTON to become a memorial ship to those that lost their lives during the Battle of the Atlantic, and to broaden access onboard so many more can learn about the great HMS WELLINGTON story.

With your support, we can achieve this and continue to deliver our charitable objects.
