Making Waves champions the achievements of women connected with the sea.

From sailors and scientists to surfers and environmentalists, this series profiles trailblazing women working on, in and for the ocean.

Today, women continue to be underrepresented in the maritime industry and careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

Meet the women forging their own paths through the waves.

Hosted by the National Maritime Museum

Discover epic stories of exploration and endeavour that have shaped our world today
