Rummage through our Christmas treasure chest below of over 20 new gifts and help Nancy Blackett keep sailing.
We have new gifts to suit everyone, and all proceeds go to support our work to keep Nancy Blackett as a historic working ship, as original as possible, and accessible for anyone to visit or sail.
It costs the Nancy Blackett Trust many thousands of pounds each year to keep Nancy Blackett afloat, and, particularly at this time of year, our Shop is a major contributor to our fundraising efforts.
So, please, buy one of our new Christmas gifts (or, even better, several!) from our Shop below, and not only will you be helping Nancy Blackett to last forever, but you’ll be treating yourself or a loved one to something unique at the same time:
We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea (Hardback)
"Now Susan,' Mother said, 'And you too, John. No night sailing...No going outside the harbour...And back the day after tomorrow...Promise.' But promises can't always be kept. Within twenty-four hours John, Susan, Titty and Roger find themselves fighting a night gale in the treacherous waters of the North Sea, adrift and in the main shipping lanes. Suddenly, it's real adventure and only their sailing skills can help them now..."
