The company operates to research, share and learn more of the heritage working vessels of Essex and help to preserve the skill sets to preserve the vessels and associated tools used in the industries associated with the coastal communities of Essex. This year we we successful in being awarded a grant to find out how to make a Mersea Oyster Tendle, a basket on the endangered list of the heritage crafts of UK. We held a number of workshops at the Mersea Island Museum for local people interested in helping to solve the puzzle of how to construct one of these baskets. This was a great success and we achieved producing a number of tendles and attending the annual Native Oyster Dredging Competition. From this we then applied for further funding to host a number of community hub meeting in the following year. We have had a number of apprentices attend the boat sheds to learn the endangered skill of clinker wooden boat building. We restored one of the sheds to be able to host a number of workshops in. We have attended a number of community activities to spread the word of the importance of keeping these vessels safe for future generations.
We work closely with Mersea Island Museum and they have guided us to achieving a series of successful community workshops We work closely with Heritage Marine Foundation who we supply time with their apprentices for them to gain first hand experience Essex Records Office are working with us to help with the handling of our material and record keeping. National Archives have advised on the way forward to achieve a better access to our information
