An Urgent Request by Reuben Goossens
Founder of “Save the
Classic Liner Campaign”
Dear Supporters and friends.
I am well aware that the MV Baragoola may not fit my criteria as a “classic liner”, however, I believe with all my heart that this superbly historic vessel, which I have supported online for quite some time needs to be restored. She has now been purchased from the hands of doom, but funds are now urgently needed for the project to go ahead full steam. The Baragoola Preservation Association is doing a superb job and have worked so hard in obtaining her, now the job is to restore her, thus why not come aboard and assist!

At this time the Baragoola Preservation Association cannot offer “tax deductibility” on donations made, therefore please bear this in mind before donating, however, also keep in mind of the importance of keeping this vital piece of maritime history alive and afloat for our future generations to see and enjoy!

I appreciate any assistance you can be, no matter what part of the world you are in, for if you truly love ships and the sea, you will appreciate this amazingly historic ferry that has plied Sydney’s famous harbour and sailed past the at times very rough Sydney Heads, that would have seen her pitch like mad, but came through it without ever being damaged!
