STEAMSHIP SHIELDHALL CHARITY 

We conserve, maintain and operate the steamship Shieldhall for people of all ages, to enjoy and experience steam power at sea and alongside. All with unpaid volunteers.Based in Southampton, Shieldhall (No 66 in the National Historic Fleet) mainly operates, but is not restricted to the Solent area and is probably the largest steam powered cargo/passenger ship in operation, in Europe.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
