Meet 'Ruda'!

A likeable little ship, known at Lloyd’s Register of Shipping as ‘Official Number 166177’, but to her friends, she’s known simply as ‘Ruda’!

Ruda was built in 1938 at the Shoreham yard of H T Stow as the first boat of their newly designed ‘Adur’ Class of cruiser.

Now, as she approaches her 90th birthday, Ruda is looking for a new owner to care for her and continue her story.
