Funding Appeal for Alma Doepel restoration
Alma Doepel (1903) urgently needs restoration to return to active service in Port Phillip offering youth development programs and acting as a living museum.
Today, Alma has a rare window of opportunity with access to a berth for the ship, a superb workshop at Shed 2, Victoria Harbour and an experienced team of shipwrights.
A National Trust External Appeal has been established to raise funds to remove the ship from the water and to complete major hull works.
This is a major step in the fund-raising campaign for Alma's refit and to add your financial support to the restoration program please download the donation form (click here) and send your contribution to the National Trust as indicated on the form. You will receive a tax receipt from the Trust.
Please note that donations of $2 and above are tax-deductible.
