Hi.
I’m Jess, currently a Seafaring Trainee as part of the National Historic Ships UK SHTP2 project.
Hailing from land-locked Birmingham seafaring may seem a bit of an odd choice of career!
But I have a real love of the sea and for old wooden sailing boats and after 10 years in the education sector, it felt time to turn my passion into a career.
During the last couple of years I’ve been lucky enough to have sailed as crew on Brixham Sailing Trawler ‘Pilgrim’ and Pilot Cutter ‘Amelie Rose’, providing a solid foundation of skills and knowledge to build on throughout the SHTP2 project over the next 12 months.
