Timber Marks Tour

National Museum of the Royal Navy, Stoney Lane, H M Naval Base, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO1 3NH

  • 07 Sep 2024
  • In person
  • Pre-booking required

Join our Archaeologist Rosey Thornber on a tour of the lower sections and some backstage areas of HMS Victory, to examine marks left by shipwrights that give clues of the repairs to the ship.

Explore the secret language of the shipwright and learn more about how the ship was built, refitted and repaired over 100s of years. The marks offer a tangible link between the conservation being undertaken today and the generations of skilled workers that came before.

Participants must be 16 years or older to take part in this event. Warning: some dark, small and interesting spaces will be explored!
