The Carrickfergus Tall Ship Project is embarking on an exciting mission to restore and return the tall ship Result back to the town in which she was built over 130 years ago. Workhorse, Warrior, Film Star - the Result is a unique survivor from the age of sail and First World War veteran. Get involved and help “bring her home”.

Our intentions for this remarkable ship are to create a land-based heritage attraction and community events hub on the Carrickfergus waterfront in tribute to our town’s great maritime history. We now need some specialised help to make our ambitions a reality. The voluntary roles are outlined in the image above and on our website so, if you have the skills and can make some time, we want to hear from you!
