Feasibility study for the Pilot Cutter Seamark to see what the local community would like to see done with the vessel known as the Seamark.
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
The idea of this project is to undertake a feasibility study into whether or not it is worth restoring the vessel known as the Seamark. This will be done by approaching the local community to see what they would like done with the Seamark. We will ask the local community if they would like to see the Seamark restored so that it gets preserved for future generations as we believe it is part of the local maritime heritage. An online survey will be conducted over several months in order to take the views of the local community, once done the data will be collated and presented to the local people through online means. In order to get word to the local community leaflets will be delivered to the local area with details of the vessel and how to fill out the survey. We will also use social media to engage with the local community on this matter as well as the local newspaper. We will also be working with local architects to produce images of what the Seamark would look like once resorted.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This feasibility study will show that the local community are always being asked about what they would like to see done in their local area. We are hoping to bring the local community together on this project not only at this stage but also going forward if it turns out that the local community would like to see the Semark resorted. This study will also disseminate information about the Semark to the local community widening their maritime knowledge of the local area.

VolunteerThe Pilot Cutter Seamark was set up with the sole purpose of preserving the Pilot Cutter named “Seamark”. Its main objective is to restore the vessel back to its former glory while actively engaging the local community.
The charitable trust was set up in 2011 when a group of enthusiasts purchased the “Seamark” from ABP and together arranged for the vessel to be towed back to Swansea from Cardiff Bay.
The original group of enthusiasts disbanded over the next 5 years after many efforts to get work started on the “Seamark” with numerous fundraising events. In 2017 a new group of trustees came together to carry the project forward. Formed of both old and new trustees the trust has been given new life to carry it forward.
The trust currently supports local communities in the following ways:
The trust is looking to go on to support the local communities in the following ways:
