replacing the bulwarks
ML (UK) were honoured and excited to be awarded the task of replacing the bulwarks – (the walls around the upper deck) on HMS Warrior as part of a lottery funded conservation project.
Our skilled team of metalworkers and carpenters worked together seamlessly to recreate a structure, both in keeping with the originality of the aesthetic and also providing a modern arrangement giving protection to the original features below i.e the iron clad and teak planking which is unique to HMS Warrior in construction.
Now complete, the structural enhancements will ensure the preservation of HMS Warrior for many decades to come.
Speaking at the launch Andrew Baines, Deputy Director of Historic Ships of the National Museum of the Royal Navy said;
“Over the past four years a dedicated team has followed in the footsteps of the men and women who built the ship, the crew who sailed her and the people who restored her. The replacement of the bulwarks will help ensure Warrior’s survival for the next 150 years, whilst the digitisation of the archive and the opening of new spaces on board makes good on our commitment to National Lottery players to share the secrets of shipwrights and sailors”
