Talks & Lectures

In conversation with... Nick Ball and Simon Stephens

Join Nick Ball and Simon Stephens for an illuminating talk on the extraordinary world of ship models, drawing on one of the largest and most important collections of its kind, held at the National Maritime Museum. Spanning more than 3,500 objects, from ancient examples to the very latest 21st century vessels, the collection reveals the evolution of maritime design, craftsmanship, and innovation across centuries. The talk explores why ship models were made, from their crucial role in the 18th century, when some of the finest examples of Navy Board ship models were produced, exploring their complex role bridging patronage and ship design. It also traces the origins of this remarkable collection, first established in the early 19th century by Sir Robert Seppings and continually expanded into a world-class resource for research and discovery. Nick is Collections, Galleries and Interpretation Manager at the Historic Dockyard, and Simon is Curator of Ship Model and Boat Collections at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. Together, they bring curatorial expertise and deep historical insight to a conversation that reveals ship models not only as technical artefacts, but as powerful expressions of artistry, identity, and the enduring fascination with the sea. Our talks are free to attend (you do not need a Dockyard admission ticket) but spaces are limited. Tickets must be booked in advance.
