Learn realities of harsh life aboard sixteenth century sailing ships
Explore below deck environments to understand confined living conditions
Experience hands-on replica sessions supporting historical investigation skills
Discover debates around exploration, power, and early modern world influence
Experience a deeper exploration of maritime history aboard the iconic Golden Hinde, where students investigate the remarkable voyage of Francis Drake and his circumnavigation of the globe. Through interactive maps, guided tours, and replica handling sessions, learners are encouraged to analyse the motivations behind the expedition and its wider impact on the early modern world. Moving through the ship’s decks and below into confined living spaces, students gain a realistic perspective on the physical and mental challenges faced by sailors during long and dangerous sea journeys.
Discover an immersive educational experience designed for KS3 and KS4 students that promotes critical thinking and historical enquiry. This engaging programme invites learners to debate key historical questions, compare past and present experiences, and understand the global significance of Elizabethan exploration. Supported by structured pre- and post-visit resources, students can extend their learning beyond the visit, enhancing skills in discussion, analysis, and interpretation aligned with major curriculum frameworks.
