Sea Your History: 20th Century Royal Navy

Sea Your History: 20th Century Royal Navy at the Royal Naval Museum

Open daily from 10am

Sea Your History is a special exhibition focusing on the real experiences of the Navy’s people - in combat and under stress, doing their day-to-day work, at rest and play, at home and abroad, at sea and  on land - during a century of almost continuous conflict and rapid technological and social change.

The exhibition will include colourful, surprising and often touchingly intimate items of both official and personal material selected from the collections of the Royal Naval Museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, the Royal Marines Museum and the Royal Navy Submarine Museum.

The exhibition is part of a larger project to make the Museums’ 20th century collections available to the public via a new website, www.seayourhistory.org.uk. Visitors to the exhibition will also have the opportunity to explore this website.

Supported by funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the project is a joint effort by the four museums, Portsmouth Royal Dockyard Historical Trust and the Mary Rose Trust.
