Rejected petition Save HMS President as part of our History.
HMS President is a ship and corporate venue moored on the Thames and was built in 1918 as a Q ship.
It would be a terrible shame to have this ship scrapped at a time when we are at the centenary of the first world war.

The river Thames is slowly losing many of its riverfront sites and this needs to be saved to preserve the history on the Victoria Embankment.
