Conservation & Preservation Projects

The 1805 Club has already ensured the survival of many Nelson monuments, and the memorials of those associated with him, both in the UK and overseas. It undertakes at least one major conservation project each year, as well watching over and tending those already restored. The Club has an extensive programme of future work, including the Nile & Copenhagen captains.
