The 113 years old topsail schooner Kathleen and May, now berthed in Liverpool, may be on her way Asia, unless money can be raised from a local source to keep the retired merchant schooner in Great Britain. The schooner was the first ship to be listed on the National Historic Ships Register.  There is currently a bid on the old ship by an unnamed Asian source for £ 2.3 million.  The owner, Steve Clarke, has been forced to sell the schooner due to declining health.

Historic schooner could be ‘gone for good’
