Save the date - New Researchers in Maritime History Conference 2025

Posted: Wednesday 5th March 2025

Event Date: 11-12 April 2025

Location: Hull History Centre

The British Commission for Maritime History (BCMH), in association with the University of Hull, is delighted to invite you for the thirtieth conference for New Researchers. This annual event organised by BCMH is supported by the Society for Nautical Research.

The conference will be held in Hull, a port-city that ranked as the third busiest commercial port in Britain, and one of Europe’s largest fishing harbours. Today, as well as continuing to engage in various sea-related activities, Hull is leveraging its significant maritime heritage, through the refurbishment of six historic sites and two preserved ships, to market itself as Yorkshire’s Maritime City.  It therefore provides an inspiring location for a conference that focuses on the maritime dimensions of history.

Further details on the event and how to Register will be shared in the coming weeks.
