It’s 1805, the Battle of Trafalgar has been won and life in the Royal Navy is good(ish). Able Seaman Jack Gill has been granted shore leave from HMS Huzzah to find some new recruits (children will do…). This fun and interactive workshop includes details about life on board a Royal Navy ship, object handling and learning a sea shanty!
