– North East Maritime Trust
A row about the ownership of the domain name nemaritimetrust.co.uk could not be settled amicably so the rightful owner secured his ownership by changing the service provider for the website to which it referred. Unfortunately the Chair of NEMT, who had falsely claimed ownership of the domain name, had not backed up the site and the rightful owner was not allowed access to it so to all intents and purposes it no longer exists and a site that attracted the interest of about 80,000 visitors in ten years was lost.
Before the site was lost the rightful owner managed to copy a couple of posts as an example of what would be lost if the row could not be settled:-
- https://theharbourview.co.uk/nemaritmetrust-co-uk/2023/12/10/the-1886-bedford-lifeboat/
- https://theharbourview.co.uk/nemaritmetrust-co-uk/2023/12/11/a-catch-up/
About the same time Chair of NEMT was writing the recent history of the charity in X.com/ which he controls, it was reported that the Facebook records of the Trust had been ‘lost’ but that was not true, the Henry Frederick Swan stream is still available which covers from June to April 2019.
Also there is https://www.facebook.com/p/North-East-Maritime-Trust-100066685952535/ which is more up to date.
