An inaugural Conservation Symposium in Portsmouth
Monday 11th December 2017

The 1805 Club with the National Museum of The Royal Navy hosted an innovative conservation symposium on Monday 11 December 2017 at HM Naval Base Portsmouth. The museum’s historic naval base and unique collection of ships was the perfect setting for the occasion.

We hope that this will be the first of a series of symposiums during the coming years connected with the very important subject of conservation and restoration. Full details will be posted in 2018.
