That the Parliament acknowledges the outstanding contribution of David Mann, who will retire as director of the Scottish Maritime Museum after 12 years at the helm; recognises his role in leading significant restoration projects, developing Scotland’s first modern apprenticeship in boat building and repair and improving the museum’s collection with historic vessels and maritime art; notes his wider contribution to Ayrshire tourism and industrial heritage through his involvement with Industrial Museums Scotland and the Ayrshire and Arran Destination Alliance; welcomes the appointment of Matthew Bellhouse Moran as his successor, and wishes David a long and fulfilling retirement.
