Debunking Framar's past to enlighten the **mis-understood**

The Framar is named after FRAnk MARshall. 

And it's doing the research based that started when we found her reviewed in a 1937 motor boat magazine, That publication may have made a typo in his name and put B and not P.

If you click on the following link you will find the rest of the story from that article.

http://ourlittleship.blogspot.co.uk/p/motor-boat-magazine-1937.html

If you compare that information with the sent information below, it shows you how the B and P typo may have been misleading for years.

I wanted to tell you this information so that you know that her historical information isn't made up at all.

Here is link to a radio interview that sparked the public to call in regarding her past owners and their memories around the Framar.

I created and edited the video with the radio in the background.

Hope this information helps you understand that we are not following any false claims.

Also the Framar was published in last years Martime world wide magazine that was apparently founded by Baden Powell himself.

Originally the scouts council had debunked that Powell never had any involvement in boats.

But the magazine re connected them dots and published her story and assured us he did.

Now you know why we want to save and share this boat.

Help Needed ASAP **PLEASE**

The cause of her sinking is really unknown at this point based of 2 attempts by emergency services that didn't offer the Boat any chance of hope.
Their help will never be forgotten and will always be appreciated regardless of outcome.
But now the only hope this boat has now lays in the pockets of all people who care.
Our insurance will noway help us and this has lead us to need to ask.
If we can get her out! the location for her to have any chance is right near by.

Please share this or if anybody can donate directly to the Framar by cheque then please get intouch first.
or click on the paypal Donate button.
Any body who helps can have a remembrance memorial to be added to the boat if requested.
And will go on the national historic ships History.

I care about the wild life too! and this really hurts me emotionally.

Green Goddesses efforts didn't raise the Framar,

On Sunday the Green Goddesses Turned up to attempt to save the boat, overlooked by the chief of the fire brigade himself.
Their help doesn't go without appreciation to their abilities.  It's not a fail in my eyes, it's the boat that' is failing us at this point.
Every body was saddened when even though they attempted beyond amazing effort, the true impact about the sinking changed from simple to serious.
They used good old reliable 1930s equipment.
Water was pumped out at a productive rate, for a good while But try as they might, the water relentlessly replaced the water that was pumped out.
It now seems that, what ever the cause of her sinking, it was a severe and more serious than originally thought.
Now it's onto plan C, as the respected relations of the people that would have used the Framar back in the day and reached the age of 79,
It was our hope that we could help the Framar be restored to celibate her 80th Birthday in 2017, the sinking was a knock back and this means we have until next years boating season to make her look like she used to look during her 1930s adventures.

Now after the hearts of so many people are on edge as we wonder how this boat will get saved.
Now the Navy are showing interest in helping save the boat in respect of their ancestors,

David and his son are no way tight fist-ted, and not just people trying to get a freebies.
They are just 2 people trying to help the boat become an heritage boat after huge damages after vandalism an this caused no end of complications, one after another,
They both had  tolerate so much and risk to their own lives in doing so,
Dean has walking issues and needs walking aids to get about, and David has health issues too,
The only reason they endured so much, is to ensure they keep their foot in the door to ensure the boat will for-fill their Dream of becoming a floating attraction,museum as part of the River and Railway heritage center that is to be located on Brayford pool near old signal house.
The boat will act as a floating memorial that can be respected by all the passionate  people who can relate to the time of their heroes.
Every body right now is helping the boat write  history for the people of the future.
And will never  be forgotten as the people who saved Framar.

Please share this and if any people can help fund raising for this boat then please get in-touch.

The Framar Sinks over night

The Framar has been through so much and David and his son Dean have been through so much to try and protect this boat so that it can become part of the River and Railway heritage trust for Lincolnshire.
After getting hit by many back falls and set backs caused by Vandalism in Lincoln the loss of all her original fenders and the Framar  life rings, and fuel drainage left the owners with endless problems that lead David and Dean to desperate life threatening moments that would put them both at serious risks to their own lives just to keep the boat alive.
David is Terminally ill and his son Dean who has walking trouble have not had any luck at all.
Saturday Morning Framar was spread around facebook that she has submerged.
Its expected that people will be meeting up from local communities to try and save this very historical boat.  "Its not until we start to lose something precious that we wake up and realize how important something is"
All the amazing stories this boat has to offer that is important and needs to be added to the educational plan giving schools a more colorful perspective of interests into our own history.
The weather has been mean but the main reason for her sinking was because impeller pipe complications that should offer a direct resolve as soon as she is drained.
This played its part in saving us during the war and now the tables have turned! This boat now needs the people to save her.
This boat can only be saved if we had a dedicated community of support to share the responsibility and care of the Framar.
 We can only hope that the Framar will be floating before the end of the day today so please follow this post and we will be able to keep you updated of her recovery,

River of Dreams

Hello friends of Framar London,  I have been very distracted the past few weeks, Multi tasking at the same time Exercising our boats moving parts ect..
Here is a nice video i put together that was filmed almost 2 weeks ago but the editing did take my a long time, As i wanted to make sure the whole video was in Full HD.






In this video you get to see the great setting that makes up for Lincolnshire's greatest rivers, where fresh water meets the sea after the gate in Boston.

Also a ray of light of great hope offers the chance for this boat to be preserved to a better way than ever possible before, as we enter the Beginning of the Nano age, This is already products that can be used to shield Framar from rot, moss, mold, and protect the varnish from UV rays and yet still allow the wood to breath, With one single application, it would preserve the boat for a good 10 years with its powerful water repellent ability.

The boat will stay the same as it would have been, Just with an invisible shield to protect her.
Please follow this blog and i would be grateful if people could maybe be part of a Vip Members club some day, Giving you the chance to take trips out on the boat.  Just like the video Above, You could have a great day out, just like my Brother Kevin, my niece and Nephew Callum and Emily.
