The Scylla Project and SWRDA’s Targetary 33 Framework 8. Overview of Costs and Benefits of the Project 35 References 37 2 Executive Summary The aim of this study is to advise the South West Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) as to whether the economic and social benefits of placing HMS Scylla on the seabed in Whitsand Bay are sufficient to warrant their financial support for the project as proposed by ARC. The key points to emerge from the report are: The ARC Budget Proposals The costs of financing the project are likely to exceed the original budget projection due to an increase in the cost of purchasing HMS Scylla and other additional costs. The costs of several key elements of the project remain to be finalised. These include the purchase price, the cost of insurance and mooring costs. The original budget contains an assumption that certain services are provided freely or undertaken by voluntary labour. However, it is possible that some of these services will need to be purchased on the market. Until all outstanding issues are resolved, an upper limit of expenditure on the project is impossible to confirm.

It was a misty spring morning with poor visibility which represented no problem for the steamship but threatened to delay the journey of the tour members who had opted to travel to Scilly by air. With the World Gig Racing Championships taking place on the islands over the weekend I was expecting a full complement of passengers on the vessel but whilst it was undoubtedly busy the numbers were fewer than I feared. Eventually the ropes were cast off and we began the three hour sailing to St Mary’s, passing several summer plumaged Great Northern Divers before we had ventured far into Mount’s Bay. Others were observed on the flat calm sea as we drew opposite Newlyn and in total at least six birds were noted, most in summer or partial summer dress. We were scanning for Basking Sharks but sadly none were seen although just a month later over 40 were counted between Penzance and Land’s End! As we made our way parallel with the South Cornish coast the cliffs were barely visible in the mist becoming more and more indistinct as our route took us further out to sea.
