A New Future for the Robin...
We’re pleased to announce a new long term future for the SS Robin at Trinity Buoy Wharf, close to where she was built in 1890.
Urban Space Management (leaseholders of Trinity Buoy Wharf) have agreed to maintain the SS Robin and to make her story more accessible to the public alongside the other important ships and cultural activity already at Trinity Buoy Wharf. A ship’s keeper will look after the Robin, along with the other historic ships at Trinity Buoy Wharf (the Knocker White and Varlet from the Museum of London are there already).
Eric Reynolds, founding director of Urban Space Management, has become the new Chairman of the SS Robin Trust, and is taking on the Robin for the future. We’re still working on the best place for the Robin at Trinity Buoy Wharf, hopefully on land next to the Thames.
