The classic Isle Of Man ferry Manxman is set to be scrapped despite several attempts to save it for future generations to enjoy. Join us in supporting this fine piece of history and wish it well for we shall never have anything like it once its gone, which unless we can persuade the authorities will be soon.
We are urging the government and all those connected with the maritime history of this country to join with us to ensure that our children and grandchildren can enjoy a ship that is so much a part of our heritage.
The increase in support has moved the SS Manxman to the top of the agenda for several maritime heritage boards. I have initiated contact with government officials to present this petition as formal evidence for a stay of execution on the scrapping process.

My grandad worked on the ferries for years, this would be a real shame to lose.

Used to take this boat to the island as a kid, really sad to see it in this state now.
