Welcome
This website contains copies of local (Plymouth and Liverpool) press coverage from the past year and news and information about W.M.L.’s current operations.
Warship Management was initialy set up to purchase and move the last remaining type 12 frigate, HMS Plymouth, from Birkenhead to Millbay Docks in Plymouth following the collapse of her previous owners The Warship Preservation trust.
The reason for this was not due to economic failure but the purchase and redevelopment of the berth and quayside wher she had been moored for some fifteen years.
The collapse of the trust led by default to her becoming the property of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company in who’s dock she now resides, awaiting her fate.
W.M.L. had agreed to purchase her from M.D.H.C. and had verbal agreements with Associated British Ports Plymouth to berth her on Trinty Pier Millbay for a trial period of one year commencing Easter 2007.
After the appointment of a new port manager in January 2007 and within days of the signing of contracts for the purchase, our agreements with A.B.P. were denied and once again she is left seeking a new berth.
Since that time W.M.L. have continued efforts to secure a berth in Plymouth and have also explored possibilities in Falmouth and Portland.
Plymouth remains our preferred port as H.M.S. Plymouth not only bears the name of the city but she’s also the last remaining warship to have been built at Devonport. So we feel Plymouth is the logical place for her to continue her career as a visitor attraction, museum and memorial to the Falklands war.
