A unique symbol of Britain's extraordinary maritime history, SS Robin is London’s best kept secret, an irreplaceable symbol of our island nation and its relationship with the sea. This undiscovered maritime jewel is one of only three "Grade 1" / Core Collection ships in London, alongside Cutty Sark and HMS Belfast.
In the latest chapter of this remarkable story, the Trust has ambitious plans to transform Robin into a dynamic learning and heritage centre as part of a major capital restoration campaign.
After six years' consultation, research and planning, SS Robin has secured a funding package from Crossrail for structural conservation works. This unique icon of the nation's merchant fleet was successfully moved to drydock in Lowestoft, Suffolk in June 2008, and is set to return to her home berth in 2010 to take her place as an exciting new London landmark.
