The Tamesis Trust objects are:-

Activities

The Tamesis Trust was established by trustees of The Consuta Trust in 2015 to work towards a Thames Historic Boat Museum to be based at Beale Park. The Beale Park Trustees however subsequently decided to cancel their agreement with the Tamesis Trust despite gaining planning approval for a museum at the park. The Tamesis Trust have been looking at other possible locations for a public historic boat museum.

During 2022/23 the trust continued to share shed storage facilities with the Consuta Trust as there has been no progress yet towards establishing a Thames museum.

The Tamesis Trust have a website and a presence on facebook media. The Trust own the 1870 steam launch Cygnet plus a variety of historical steam, internal combustion and electric boat engines, and also many other related artifacts. Most of these have been donated by supporters, further details can be found on the trust website.

The Consuta Trust had a marquee at the 2022 Thames Traditional Boat Festival at Henley and were able to display Cygnet at the show.

Finances during the financial year.

The only expenditure during the year was the £283 annual insurance cost for Cygnet, however there was £80 interest from our Virgin savings account plus £30 donations at the CCBF display at Henley, giving a net deficit of £243 in the general funds for the financial year.
