26 July – 30 Nov 2014: Valour, Loss and Sacrifice

This exhibition commemorates Admiral Lord Nelson and his ship HMS Victory, local heroes and national icons that both started their careers on the River Medway. Lord Nelson first arrived in Chatham as a 12 year old, by which time HMS Victory, his famous flagship, had already been built at Chatham Dockyard. A visit to this exhibition will provide your students with the local story behind the famous Battle of Trafalgar.

In the year of the centenary of the start of the First World War, this exhibition provides the opportunity to study the impact of the Great War from a local perspective. Through pictures, words and objects, the lives and losses of members of the local community and dockyard workforce of the time are illustrated.

27 June – 20 Sept 2015: V&A War Games

12 Oct – 29 Nov 2015 Rowland Hilder OBE This exhibition of paintings includes many local North Kentish landscapes, providing a visual chronicle of changes in the local landscape over the last century. Hilder’s wartime propaganda posters for the Ministry of Information also provide your students with fascinating stimuli for Second World War studies.

This V&A Museum of Childhood exhibition explores the fascinating relationship between war and conflict and children’s toys and play. Including a wide range of toys and games from the past, this thought-provoking exhibition reveals the links between play and warfare.

Local History Study For nearly 400 years,the dockyard shaped the physical and human fortunes of the Medway Towns. A local centre of innovation and technology at the height of its operation, Chatham Dockyard was responsible for the education and employment of more than 17,000 local people and covered an area of over 600 acres. The expansion and later closure of the dockyard shaped the local area as it is today.

HMS Namur was launched from Chatham and fought in several naval actions in the Seven Years War. The timbers of the ship can still be seen at The Dockyard and the story of its construction is brought to life in digital theatre in our Hearts of Oak Gallery.

In the French

Turner painted his evocative painting ‘The Fighting Temeraire’ depicting the Chatham-built Trafalgar veteran being towed into the breakers yard by a steam tug, symbolising the end of the age of sail and the beginnings of steam-power in the Industrial Age.

With increasing mechanisation in industry, a cheaper workforce of women workers was taken on to supervise the Ropery’s new hatchelling and spinning machines. Social code of the time led to a separate women’s entrance to the building being built.

At the height of the

Revolutionary Wars,

Nelson won the Battle of Trafalgar on Chatham-built flagship HMS Victory. The Mould Loft where the lines of Victory were drawn and the dock where the ship was constructed can be visited at The Historic Dockyard today.

Industrial Revolution,

The Steam Dockyard Extension was completed, covering 404 acres of St. Mary’s Island.

1878 1782 In the Battle of the Saintes during the

American War of Independence, the

fleet was led by two Chatham ships HMS Formidable and HMS Sandwich.

1811

1843

Henry Maudslay built his forming machine which began to be used in the ropery. This machine is still on display in the Ropery today.

As widespread Social Reform occurred nationwide, the Dockyard School was established to raise educational standards for apprentices.

1984

At the forefront of technological innovation, Chatham Dockyard built and launched its first submarine, the C17.

Chatham ships were involved in the Battle of Jutland, the largest naval battle of the war. At this time over 12,000 people were employed at the dockyard repairing warships badly damaged by mines and torpedoes. During the war 8,450 men were lost at sea, with many Medway families losing fathers, sons, uncles and brothers.

The dockyard suffered its heaviest air raid of the war with nine bombs falling on the factory, killing eight workers and injuring 63. Visits to one of the dockyard’s most ‘luxurious’ air raid shelters can still be booked today.

Work commenced on converting submarines at The Dockyard, making them quieter and stealthier for their new role in the Cold War against Russia. Cold War submarine HMS Ocelot can be toured at The Historic Dockyard.

Chatham Dockyard closed with the loss of over 7,000 jobs. The social effects of this are explored in our Steam Steel and Submarines gallery. In the same year, Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust was established and the site’s transformation from industrial site to tourist attraction commenced.

1914

1939

The first shot of naval war in the First World War was fired by Chathammanned Destroyer HMS Lance. Later that year, three Chatham-manned cruisers Hogue, Cressy and Aboukir were all sunk simultaneously by the same German submarine with the loss of over 1,400 crew members. Artefacts from the wrecks can be viewed in our Steam, Steel & Submarines gallery.

The outbreak of the Second World War put the Medway Towns firmly on the front line. Dockyard employment peaked at 17,000 and labour shortages led to over 2,000 women workers being employed to carry out duties traditionally done only by men such as welding and riveting.

1944 HMS Cavalier, a Second World War Destroyer was built at

Cowes and took part in the Arctic Convoys protecting Britain’s trade and supply routes. Today, the ship is preserved at The Dockyard as the memorial to the 142 Royal Navy Destroyers that were lost during the war, with the loss of over 11,000 men.

1982 Chatham-based HMS Endurance and her detachment of Royal Marines were the only British Forces in the South Atlantic when the Falklands Conflict began.
