National Maritime Museum Cornwall

Search and Rescue, the new blockbuster exhibition from National Maritime Museum Cornwall invites you to enter the world of the rescue services where ordinary people lead extraordinary lives, risking their life to save yours.

Opening on 16 March 2012, the exhibition takes you on an interactive, stimulating and emotive journey into the role of the maritime rescue services, celebrating the work of the RNLI, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, HM Coastguard and other organisations.

Objects of epic proportions include a 70ft Sea King helicopter, kindly loaned by the MOD, one of the Museum’s most ambitious installations. Uniquely painted in the colours of both the Royal Navy and RAF Search and Rescue (SAR) services (red and grey one side and yellow on the other) it offers you the rare opportunity to climb inside, without having to be rescued. Dress as a pilot, listen to accounts from the crew and from those that have been rescued, explore their lifesaving equipment and discover the world of the Royal Navy and RAF SAR teams.

The Last of the Tall Ships February 13th- July 18th 2013

13 February — 18 July 2013 *on now

These striking black and white photographs by sailor, author and photographer, Alan Villiers, record early 20th century maritime history when merchant sailing vessels were in rapid decline. Taken between 1928 and 1933, when Villiers was part owner of the four-masted barque Parma (1902), they provide a vivid and often intimate snapshot of life and work on board these romantic vessels.
