Sea Chest Secrets

Unlock a maritime mystery.

An interactive exhibition that lets visitors use their hands and minds in a voyage of discovery to uncover the writer of an intriguing diary found washed ashore in a sea chest.

Restore a ship’s bell, identify model ships, discover how a sextant works and answer the biggest mystery of them all: who wrote the diary?
