The Project - Interpretation

Late in 1999 the Hobart Ports Corporation Pty Ltd gifted the SV May Queen to the May Queen Pty Ltd, a company specially formed to "hold the SV May Queen in a trust for the people of Tasmania".

May Queen Pty Ltd is administered by a Board of Directors and is a voluntary not-for-profit organisation with "the sole objective of preservation, maintenance and interpretation of the historic ketch SV May Queen".

May Queen Pty Ltd has joined hands with Friends of the May Queen Inc and Maritime Museum of Tasmania Inc to plan and oversee the raising of finance and undertaking of the preservation and maintenance work.
