Forgotten Wrecks on Tour
Location:
Romney Marsh Visitor Centre
Date(s):
Wednesday 5th August 2015 - Sunday 15th November 2015
Time:
10:00 - 05:00
Romney Marsh is currently home to a fascinating exhibition which looks to raise the profile of under-represented aspects of the First World War.
The temporary display, which runs until November 15th, offers a great chance to view recovered artefacts and learn about some of the lesser-known, but compelling, stories of the Great War.
Over 700 wartime wrecks are known to lie off the south coast of England. These include largely forgotten ships and craft of all shapes and sizes, all of which were carrying out a myriad of different tasks and activities when they were lost.
The great variety of incidents, often resulting in lives lost, range from severe enemy attacks, to misfortunes caused by bad weather and communication. As well as information on the events that took place across the coast, there will also be content on incidents which occurred within proximity of Kent.
Through the Heritage Lottery Funded 'Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War' project, the Maritime Archaeology Trust are revealing moving accounts of bravery and sacrifice surrounding these sites. The four-year project aims to bring together personal and family information, while utilizing artefact records with historic and archaeological research to uncover the stories of our shores.
Catch the free exhibition while it lasts, at Dymchurch Road, New Romney, Kent, TN28 8AY.
