Introduction
In partnership with Royal Museums Greenwich and National Historic Ships UK (NHS-UK), and supported by the Museum Ships Committee of the International Congress of Maritime Museums the successful Historic Ships conference returns for the eighth instalment. The Royal Institution of Naval Architects is not only proud of the current achievements in the marine industry, but also our maritime heritage. The history of the world is the history of the sea, that through trade and war shaped our modern existence.
This conference will not only focus on the conservation of historic vessels but also the research and investigation into the engineering and proficiency of historic designs through modern naval architecture techniques. With this event, you will help to record the skills and techniques used to construct and operate our historic ships for current and future generations.
The conference will be held on 28-29 November 2023, followed by a visit to the Chatham Dockyard on 30 November 2023.
