After its launch at last year’s London International Shipping Week, a groundbreaking exhibition spotlighting the inspirational stories of women in maritime is coming to Portsmouth, United Kingdom.
Launching on Friday 2 August, members of the public will be able to experience the free, thought provoking SHE_SEES exhibition hosted in Boathouse 4 at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, spearheaded by UK-based global safety and education charity Lloyd’s Register Foundation.
The exhibition, hosted in partnership with Portsmouth Historic Quarter and the University of Portsmouth, taps into archive materials from across the UK and Ireland to uncover the extensive history of trailblazing female voices in the maritime industry and aims to change the tide on diversity.
Entry for the exhibition is free; visitors should ask for a ‘historic quarter pass’ at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard’s Visitor Centre, which gives them free access to the site excluding ticketed attractions. The SHE_SEES exhibition is open in Boathouse 4 for visitors between 10am and 4:30pm.
