Each day from Monday 16th - Friday 20th April inclusive between 14:00 - 14:30

Using Victorian photographs and your detective skills, learn about the Dockyard and the ships built here. The investigation will be lead and facilitated by our Curator. Involving plenty of discussion and questioning, the session will involve looking closely at historical photographs of the Dockyard, its workers and the ships that were built here during the Victorian period. The Curator will encourage participants to look for clues to date the photograph and explore what it tells us about shipbuilding, architecture, technology and society at the time.

This activity is designed for adult learners (aged 18+) There will be no additional charge for the activity, although normal admission charges to The Historic Dockyard will apply. Please telephone 01634 823800 for further details.
