Thanks to all those who did the organising – in particular Jim for preparing the Christmas dinner – and to everyone for coming along to enjoy the party, which reportedly continued at a local pub later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/1770898018113-N8YSRV82YV9ZMXH8H2KS/image2.jpg News - Newsletter - February 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/1770898020803-77I3TKYTQ8GI46I2TLNM/image1.jpg News - Newsletter - February 2026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/8ec4301a-0b0f-4380-b038-0b021cf3699a/UK+Maritime+Heritage+Forum1.jpg News - Newsletter - February 2026 - SS Explorer’s Community Outreach Worker at the UK Maritime Heritage Forum by Beatriz Crespo Gonzalez I was delighted to attend this year’s UK Maritime Heritage Forum representing the SS Explorer Preservation Society as the Community Outreach Worker. The Forum was not only a great opportunity to connect with other vessels and museums from around the UK but also learn and discuss with experts in various areas of maritime heritage. This year the forum was hosted by National Museums Scotland, which cares for over 12 million objects and specimens in four museums and the National Museums Collection Centre. Attendees also had the option to choose between two different study visits, Royal Yacht Britannia or Trinity House Leith, with the conference dinner hosted onboard floating luxury hotel Fingal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/942aa053-9995-499d-86fc-dea8f466f035/UK+Maritime+Heritage+Forum2.jpg News - Newsletter - February 2026 Presentations and posters covered new and emerging challenges in maritime heritage, such as “sea blindness” and its effects, and the loss of heritage and traditional skills. It was inspiring to hear from other Scottish ships and neighbours of Explorer, including Discovery and Unicorn from Dundee and Glenlee from Glasgow. The Forum was a great opportunity to introduce the SS Explorer to those that had not heard of her before, and hopefully the Society will be able to attend again next year to continue learning and connecting the wider maritime heritage in the UK. Please check out our social media channels for more pictures and updates on the SS Explorer! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/7d94a3f3-c014-46b2-b89d-8f49dfb9b69a/Trinity+House1.jpg News - Newsletter - February 2026 - SS Explorer Crew visit Trinity House Leith In November 2025, our volunteers were invited to visit Trinity House in Leith, following their team’s visit to our ship. Not far from where Explorer is berthed, the crew enjoyed learning about Leith’s maritime history through the House’s extensive collection of artefacts and our guide’s knowledge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/660d12e0-438b-4f93-950f-f8abea32cf6d/Trinity+House3.jpg News - Newsletter - February 2026 Trinity House was originally established as the headquarters for the Incorporation of Mariners and Shipmasters, a charity set up to support the needs of injured and retired seamen and their families, that traces its origins back to 1380. The house is now under the care of Historic Environment Scotland and is open to visits 1 April to 30 September. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/1764926598908-MBL137ZPH3TYUK2MO510/Trinity-House4.jpg News - Newsletter - February 2026 Maddy and Liz guided us around the house, sharing the stories and details of many of the treasures on display and answering all questions. Volunteers were particularly impressed with the collection of ship models and paintings as well as navigation instruments, sparking interesting questions and discussions. We strongly encourage anyone interested in maritime history to visit Trinity House and keep an eye out for the whale eardrum! Thank you to Trinity House and Maddy and Liz for having us. We look forward to more visits and engagement in the future!

Leaving our beloved SS Explorer behind, volunteers got to enjoy a day out visiting the only steel square-rigged cargo vessel remaining in the whole of the UK. Lauren guided us around the ship, sharing her story as British Cargo Vessel, an Italian ship of mystery, the sail training icon of the Spanish Navy and finally back home to Glasgow, Scotland. Our volunteers were impressed by the work by the Clyde Maritime Trust in restoring Glenlee, and found their many stories of overcoming obstacles in their efforts inspiring. The Glenlee exists now as a floating museum, in a similar fashion to our end goal for the SS Explorer. Our visit also included a chat with some of the people working with the Tall Ship Glenlee Trust to keep her afloat and a testament to Clyde shipbuilding. Our volunteers had many questions regarding their learning and outreach projects, as well as wanting to discuss social media accounts and plans for the future. Like Explorer, Glenlee will need drydocking soon, and are likewise working towards securing that funding. From one team obsessed with their unique and aging vessel to another, thank you Glenlee for your warm welcome and inspiring words! We hope to return the favour and invite their team to visit our Old Lady of Leith soon. Check our socials for more pictures and videos of the day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/18cf8cca-a08e-4ca5-959b-071f43120e26/nl3_2.jpeg News - Newsletter - August 2025 - Community Outreach Projects With funding from the Community Fund, we have appointed a part-time Outreach worker for the summer months to develop our links with local and national community groups and other charities. Recently, this included the Leith Men´s Shed, who visited Explorer in August. Explorer can only host 10 visitors at a time, so they requested 2 tours to accommodate as many of their members as possible. After the tour, visitors enjoyed a cup of coffee in the saloon and many conversations were had about Leith´s history, with many sharing stories and memories. Some members then expressed interest in visiting again and even volunteering with us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/6a42278a-9236-455e-996c-08916b2613ff/nl4.jpg News - Newsletter - August 2025 In an effort to share Explorer´s beauty and history with more members of our community, we are developing a mobile version, a “roadshow” of sorts. The Explorer Roadshow will enable our volunteers to share her history and a small selection of objects with groups who may not be able to access the ship due to mobility or other accessibility limitations. Keep an eye on our newsletter for further updates! We are also working to develop links with local organisations in the ports where Explorer called during regular voyages – this includes many in the Faroes and also in Denmark and Norway as well as the Scottish mainland and islands. In addition, we are starting a project with other Leith organisations to develop a Maritime Trail in Leith and North Edinburgh which reflects the area’s long maritime history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/c08c9b90-7c37-40f9-a5f8-ea41110f0844/nw5_2.jpg News - Newsletter - August 2025 - Waist Deck Restoration Since the beginning of work in the second half of last year, the restoration team has made significant headway on the starboard waist deck. Almost all of the old wooden decking—badly decayed and contributing to corrosion of the underlying steel—has now been carefully removed. This step was guided by a heritage impact assessment, which confirmed that removal was necessary to protect the vessel’s long-term integrity. The deck restoration team has grown considerably in recent months, bringing fresh energy and momentum. A second-hand industrial deck scaler was also acquired and fully refurbished, including the installation of a brand-new motor. In addition to the deck scaler, needle guns are used to tackle more intricate and hard-to-reach areas where heavy machinery isn’t suitable. The angle grinders were hard at work, gleefully chewing through leftover studs, upstands, and anything else that posed a trip hazard after the deck came up. These developments have allowed us to make strong progress in removing thick layers of rust scale and preparing the steel surface beneath. With much of the groundwork complete, repainting is planned to begin towards the end of this summer. https://www.theexplorer.scot/news/newsletter-august-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/5240c810-5d80-49f1-98ec-9506128a65a6/Screenshot+2025-09-10+at+15.32.26.png News - Newsletter - August 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/8142aae9-c6c2-4455-bbd9-931cc9ab5a83/ebd9a9ee-00ed-4fd9-fd8b-9afb39253f09.jpg News - Newsletter - August 2024 - Visitors We have had nearly 60 visitors on board in the last few months with groups from Midlothian Camera Club and Edinburgh Science Festival, along with a lot of individual visitors.

She has written a short report about her most recent survey trip – which sounds very similar to the Explorer trips from many years ago: Who hasn't at least once thought about giving up everything and going to live on a boat in the middle of the sea? Let me tell you, it’s not as simple as it sounds. This is my job. Every so often, I leave everything behind and spend months at a time in the middle of the ocean for fieldwork. Even though it’s hard work, you get to live through unique experiences—some good, some bad. Sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking, but seasickness is a real challenge, and there’s nowhere to escape! My most recent adventure was aboard the British ship RRS Discovery, hunting for “white waters” in the Iceland Basin of the North Atlantic. “White waters” are areas so rich in coccolithophores—tiny planktonic organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells (similar to corals)—that the water appears a very light blue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/8c8201f2-93d0-4751-8214-f6257b59c5a0/Screenshot+2025-09-10+at+15.36.24.png News - Newsletter - August 2024 Living on a ship for extended periods has its perks, like no cooking or cleaning for a month! But it’s also incredibly demanding work. Shifts usually last 12 hours on and 12 hours off. During these hours, we collected an extensive amount of water samples using a CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth profiler). Once ashore, these samples are subjected to detailed analysis for various parameters, including nutrient concentrations, oxygen levels, and other vital indicators of ocean health. Nutrients like nitrate, phosphate, and silicate are crucial for understanding the biological productivity of the ocean, while oxygen measurements help us track changes in water masses and their potential impacts on marine life. https://www.theexplorer.scot/news/newsletter-april-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/7334b3f9-8bdf-4630-b75b-9b5d81b80538/Conservation+Management+Plan+Launch+event.jpg News - Newsletter - April 2024 - Conservation Management Plan Launch event On Friday 19th April, we hosted a successful Launch event for the Conservation Management Plan for Explorer at the Port of Leith Distillery. Around 40 people attended the event in the Quality Control Room of the Distillery which provides a beautiful view over Leith Docks with Explorer visible in the distance. Among the guests were local business owners, members of the local community, current and former members of SSEPS, various press representatives and our local MSP Ben Macpherson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/e19941b5-c202-4df4-9e67-4e7e80c07c07/Donation+Point.png News - Newsletter - April 2024 - Donation Point beside the Royal Yacht Britannia In addition to the generous donation which they made last year, the Britannia team have offered us the opportunity to set up an Explorer information board and donation point. We are extremely grateful for this support and hope that it will encourage Britannia’s visitors to support another historic vessel in the Port of Leith. Thanks also to Colin Williamson and Charlie Blyth for their work in setting up the donation point and, of course, to Bill Macpherson for the design and layout of the information Board. We have also been offered space for a similar donation point at the Port of Leith Distillery, which we commissioned just in time for the CMP launch event. More about that in our next newsletter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/6338c4e2-12f0-4af1-85cf-f4c4a01d484c/Recent+Visitors.jpeg News - Newsletter - April 2024 - Recent Visitors On Tuesday 19th Meredith Greiling who is a Trustee of the Society and Principal Curator, Technology of the Science and Technology Dept at National Museums Scotland brought a group of colleagues to visit Explorer.

They have continued the routine maintenance, along with some chipping and painting and they are about to start a project to remove the boards on the side decks and clean and paint the main deck in these areas. A recent highlight has been the installation of a toilet on the vessel for our visitors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/ab34c862-0e56-4ed7-adca-d98aadb0a750/Visitor+stats.jpg News - Newsletter - December 2023 - Visitor stats In 2023 over 20 visitor groups came to the ship and several events were hosted in our Officer's Mess.

It was inspiring to hear from other Scottish ships and neighbours of Explorer, including Discovery and Unicorn from Dundee and Glenlee from Glasgow. The Forum was a great opportunity to introduce the SS Explorer to those that had not heard of her before, and hopefully the Society will be able to attend again next year to continue learning and connecting the wider maritime heritage in the UK.

While heading into the storm, a large sea broke over the bow and a lump of green water struck the casing with such force, that it stove in the bridge front, breaking all the windows and flooding the wheelhouse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/b1017ef1-54ea-4f30-bd41-ae330dc8fae8/storm.jpg Blog - Braving the Storm: The SS Explorer’s Battle with the North Atlantic - Thankfully, even with the weight of water on deck, she rose in time to ride over the following wave. The crew were left wet and stunned, some having been swept off their feet, but they had the presence of mind to keep the Explorer's head into the wind, reduce speed, and heave-to in order to assess the damage. https://www.theexplorer.scot/blogs/visit-the-tall-ship-glenlee monthly 0.5 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/e0e53554-c3f3-486e-8dc4-226185ae9978/Glenlee1.jpeg Blog - The SS Explorer volunteer team visit The Tall Ship Glenlee - 08.2025 Lauren guided us around the ship, sharing her story as British Cargo Vessel, an Italian ship of mystery, the sail training icon of the Spanish Navy and finally back home to Glasgow, Scotland. Our volunteers were impressed by the work by the Clyde Maritime Trust in restoring Glenlee, and found their many stories of overcoming obstacles in their efforts inspiring. The Glenlee exists now as a floating museum, in a similar fashion to our end goal for the SS Explorer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62dfcc1345f8ee6d4ec8d7e0/e431e304-396d-4638-b77d-79529b7184c5/Glenlee2.jpeg Blog - The SS Explorer volunteer team visit The Tall Ship Glenlee - 08.2025 Our visit also included a chat with some of the people working with the Tall Ship Glenlee Trust to keep her afloat and a testament to Clyde shipbuilding. Our volunteers had many questions regarding their learning and outreach projects, as well as wanting to discuss social media accounts and plans for the future. Like Explorer, Glenlee will need drydocking soon, and are likewise working towards securing that funding. From one team obsessed with their unique and aging vessel to another, thank you Glenlee for your warm welcome and inspiring words! We hope to return the favour and invite their team to visit our Old Lady of Leith soon.
