LAUNCH! Shipbuilding through the ages
Launch image

In association with the History Channel

This new family-orientated exhibition will use hands-on and computerised interactive displays and engaging film and footage to demonstrate techniques of shipbuilding, from the ‘age of sail’ to modern prefabrication methods.

The exhibition will focus on the science, engineering and social history of shipbuilding in Great Britain and the interactive elements of the exhibition will allow children of all ages to get involved and experience this history.

Due to unforeseen technical difficulties within the new exhibition space, the opening of this exhibition has been postponed and will no longer open on 21 October 2008. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Please check back here for further updates.
