Following the shocking theft of the Maryport war memorial last year on the 1st November, Gen2 are currently in the process of making a new boat to be placed on Senhouse Street in Maryport to replace the one stolen.

We are asking for donations to go towards the upkeep and cost of the boat as our target is to raise £500. The new boat will be a fantastic and incredible site, showcasing the talent of Gen2 Salterbeck engineering apprentices who have been working on the project for the last four months.

This will be a fitting tribute for the veterans of Maryport being filled initially with summer flowers and then Poppy's during remembrance time. We should never forgot those who have given their lives for our rights and this wonderful sculpture symbolises the remembrance of how people died for our freedom.

All donations, big or small, will be gratefully appreciated.

The unveiling of the finished sculpture will be at Energus on Friday 10th March. If you would like to attend then please contact Gen2, however a picture will be posted on this site.
