Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War exhibition
Location:
St. Peter's Church, Folkestone
Date(s):
Monday 16th November 2015 - Tuesday 15th March 2016
Time:
09:00 - 16:00
A new exhibition in Kent tells of the hundreds of First World War shipwrecks lying just off our shores. They were lost due to torpedo attacks, scuttling, hitting mines, collisions, bad weather, poor communication and misfortune. The ships were of all shapes and sizes and carrying out a myriad of different tasks and activities when they were lost. The Maritime Archaeology Trust's Heritage Lottery Funded Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War project aims to bring together personal and family information, artefact records, historic and archaeological research, and tell the stories behind the sites. Some of these stories, together with artefacts recovered from wrecks, are being displayed in a temporary exhibition being hosted by Shepway HEART Forum at St. Peter's Church, Folkestone, between 16th November 2015 until mid March 2016.
