The Medusa Trust, a registered charity, exists to preserve HMSMedusa, ML1387, 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 towards the end of a major refit mainly funded by The Heritage Lottery Fund.  The work has been done in conjunction with The Maritime Workshop of Gosport and has provided an opportunity to young shipwrights to learn and practice traditional shipbuilding skills. Medusa was launched on 1 March and is now at gunwharf following sea trials on 6 July.
