HDML 1321 currently sits on the shoreline at the Darwin Bhagwan Marine East Arm facility.
It is the aim of Save Motor Launch 1321 Inc. to preserve HDML 1321 to retain this incredible part of our military and maritime heritage. The vessel has sustained some damage but is in pretty good shape.

HDML 1321 will be one of only five WW2 vessels on display in our nation. She is a beautiful boat made of Huon pine, the last of the Coastwatchers and we urge anyone who is passionate about our maritime and military history to help us raise some funds we need to lift, move and preserve her.
Prior to becoming an incorporated body efforts to save HDML 1321 began with a group of people who have ties to her history, notably via family members including, Bro Palmer, the son of the war time captain Lt. Ambrose Ernest Palmer, and Don Dennis the nephew of the sole surviving Commando of Operation Copper, Sapper Mick Dennis.
Both these men have stepped back from their active roles to rescue HDML 1321, passing on the rescue efforts to a younger, more energetic generation, both men are still passionate about having HDML 1321 and her history preserved for future generations.
