Dear friends,

PLEASE READ THIS E MAIL - YOUR HELP IS VITAL

I write to you today asking for a contribution towards the saving of the last White Star Line vessel, S.S Nomadic.

Nomadic was one of the tenders running out of Cherbourg, and built primarily to serve OLYMPIC & TITANIC that were too big to dock at the port. Along with her 'sister' Traffic, she went on to serve many White Star Line ships.

I won't go into her history; we all know of her and the part she played.
She is the last surviving vessel of the mighty White Star Line. For information please visit: http://www.titanic-titanic.com/phpBB2/archive.php/o_t__t_186__nomadic.htm

She recently came up for auction, but failed to make reserve price of 500,000 euros.
The next auction is on January 26th 2006, in France. Please visit the following link below for further information.

The reserve has now been halved to 250,000 euros, about £150.000.

IF SHE FAILS TO SELL THIS TIME, SHE WILL PROBABLY BE SOLD FOR SCRAP!!

I am looking for enthusiastic people to buy a share in her, which will hopefully raise enough capital to purchase her. Shares are £250 each and you can purchase as many as you like.

David Scott Beddard and myself have started this venture, in assocation with Belfast Industrial Heritage. Kathleen Neill from BIH has worked tirelessly on this project for over two years and assures us that once Nomadic is back in Belfast, she will qualify for Lottery Funding for her restoration at Harland & Wolff. What an opportunity!!

We do not ask you for money now, but a promise from you, that should we raise enough to purchase the vessel, you will come good on your promise, when asked. I do not get involved in many ventures, but beleive this is a worthwhile one, of which myself and David will be major contributors.

JUST THINK, YOU COULD OWN A SHARE IN THE LAST WHITE STAR LINE VESSEL!

I am sorry that I cannot contact you all individually; time does not permit this, but your help is vital!

THIS IS OUR VERY LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND PRESERVE A LASTING REMINDER OF THE WHITE STAR LINE
