Heritage Minister has Edwin Fox history lesson

Mayor Nadine Taylor shared the history of Marlborough’s Edwin Fox with the Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage Paul Goldsmith (pictured right) when he visited last week, accompanied by Marlborough MP Stuart Smith (left).

“It was a good chance to shine a spotlight on what a maritime treasure the Edwin Fox is, how lucky we are to have her and to discuss the funding and expert help that is needed to secure her future,” Mayor Taylor said.

Mayor Taylor also presented Minister Goldsmith with a copy of the recently released book ‘The Edwin Fox – How an Ordinary Sailing Ship Connected the World in the Age of Globalization, 1850-1914’ by Boyd Cothran and Adrian Shubert.
