The Medusa Trust exists to preserve Medusa for future generations and use her to provide benefit to the public who can experience what it was like to be on a small naval vessel of WW2.

As well as the vessel we maintain an extensive archive of documents, photographs and records of all the 480 HDMLs and their crews. We are always keen to receive new material and records of experiences on these vessels.

Medusa is recognised as being one of the 58 vessels selected to represent the nation's maritime heritage by her inclusion in the "Core Collection" list.

Medusa is operated and maintained by volunteers and funded entirely by donations.

Medusa is currently part way through a major refit mainly funded by The Heritage Lottery. She is ashore at Hythe being worked on by shipwrights from The Maritime Workshop and a number of young trainees, as well as the volunteers from The Medusa Support Group. She is due to be back in the water in the Summer of 2008.
