Restoration of The Terror

The EmsworthHeritage Project

Emsworth's last remaining oyster boat now owned by The Chichester Harbour Conservancy  was restored at Dolphin Quay Boat Yard in 2006.

"Work is progressing on Terror, the Victorian oyster boat that is being restored at Dolphin Quay Boatyard. When we took-over ownership of the boat,-she was without any sails or rigging. This posed a problem and we needed to discover exactly how she was originally rigged.
At the 2006 Emsworth Food Festival, Ron Spencer approached us with some photographs of the Terror sailing in the 1960s. These have proved to be an invaluable source of information. Our surveyor has studied them closely so that we can reproduce the sails and rigging as near to the original as possible."

The Khao Lak Community Appeal

£1,000,000 raised to date

The Khao Lak Community Appeal was launched in January 2005 in memory of six local residents who died in the tragic events of the Tsunami on Boxing Day 26th December 2004. They were staying in Khao Lak, the most devastated area in Thailand. The charity is also in recognition of the fantastic people of Khao Lak, who did so much to help survivors, having lost virtually everything themselves.



The appeal aims to raise £1million to build new and improve existing facilities at the local school and for community use as well. It will also support eleven young children throughout their schooling, all of whom lost their mothers in the wave.
