Get inspired and create your vessel of the future!
Join us for an inspiring series of Vessels of the Future masterclasses – a free event designed to ignite curiosity and creativity in young people aged 13–18.
Through three interactive mini lectures, participants will explore the evolution of vessels on the River Thames, from historic ships of the past to the cutting-edge innovations shaping its future. After these, you'll be supported by an artist to invent your own vessel in a creative workshop.
Through these sessions you will discover the iconic ships that once defined London’s maritime story, take a closer look at the working vessels on the Thames today and how they keep the river moving, and get a glimpse into tomorrow’s river, with ideas and innovations that could change how we travel and trade on water.
The sessions will be led by expert speakers from across the maritime and innovation sectors. Stay tuned for speaker announcements and more details coming soon!
