The funding will further the work at the Heritage Boatyard, training more people in the necessary heritage skills so they can help conserve the historic collection.
The Heritage Boatyard is a partnership that has been set up to conserve the historic boat fleet at the National Waterways Museum and to teach young people boat building skills. Volunteers and young trainees work alongside each other on a wide range of boats, all originally used on Britain's canals and inland waterways.
The project provided three 18-month training placements for individuals to learn about the practicalities and ethics of historic vessel conservation.
