Flying Buzzard -- Historic Tug

We'd like to hear from you, especially from those with an interest in what we're doing with the Flying Buzzard, and those with initiative and/or experience who would like to have a positive input.

We are financially unaided in this project and would particularly like to hear from anyone who might wish to offer help/sponsorship for any aspect of our venture, and any charities or aid organisations who we may be able to help.

You can contact us aboard the Flying Buzzard, Elizabeth Dock, Maryport, Cumbria CA15 8AB

OR email flyingbuzzard@hotmail.com

We hope shortly to have available Flying Buzzard T-shirts, hats etc.

SOLD! For the more discerning shopper we have a selection of museum-quality telegraphs, a 16-ft rivetted lifeboat and davits, some air-vents (large), some slightly-used auxiliary steam engines, a generator, a circulation pump, bilge pumps, a capstan and -- for one lucky buyer only -- a VERY LARGE 1,200hp, 36-ton, 14ft high, 10ft by 10ft compound steam engine. Pictures on request. History comes free.

Contact us now -- while supplies last!

LATEST UPDATE! The main steam engine together with all ancillary engines, original drive-train and associated spare parts have been sold to the Scottish Maritime Museum, Irvine. It will become part of the Museum's Scottish provenance collection, and a 'Flying Buzzard' exhibition is planned that will be on view in the near future.
