A special treat! Neil Stevenson, the Newport Ship's learning and access officer, gives a talk on a relatively new museum where he's previously worked, the Barrow-in-Furness Dockland Museum which features largely the Vosper Thorny Croft Shipyards and the submarines that were built there. Will this new museum point the way for how the Newport Ship should be displayed in the future?

End of the season skittles match, no doubt a grudge match from the Christmas party!
