The society is pleased to confirm that it has received the official go-ahead 
from the Heritage Lottery Fund to commence the next stage of the project 
with 50% of the project planning grant being made available this week.



It had originally been intended for the "Daniel Adamson" to be dry docked at 
Clarence Dry Dock adjacent to her present berth in Salisbury Dock. 
Unfortunately, however, Clarence Dry Dock has recently closed.



Therefore, the "Daniel Adamson" will be dry docked by North Western 
Shiprepairers at Bidston Dry Dock, West Float, Birkenhead.



The tow from Salisbury Dock to the West Float will be performed by Svitzer. 
The move will be performed at fairly short notice during day-light hours 
probably sometime on or after January 19th by the tug ASHGARTH.
