In conversation with... Rebecca Douglas: Photographer, Filmmaker, and President of the Board of Trustees at Whale Wise

Stories of the sea: encounters, conservation and connection Join photographer, filmmaker and ocean advocate Rebecca Douglas for a journey through some of the extraordinary stories that have unfolded through her lens around the shores of Kent, UK and Iceland. From rescuing an entangled humpback whale, humans and humpbacks singing together and encountering rarely seen Northern Bottlenose Whales, to snorkelling alongside seals, puffins and diving gannets, Rebecca shares the moments of wonder, curiosity and connection that have shaped her relationship with the sea. The talk will include the story behind her arresting Hanging Gannet photograph, placing second in the Conservation (Impact) category of Ocean Photographer of the Year 2024, alongside reflections on how powerful imagery can reveal both the beauty of our ocean and the challenges it faces. Blending personal encounters, conservation stories and award-winning photography, this is a celebration of the wildlife, wild places and unexpected moments that remind us why the ocean matters, and why she believes we are all ocean storytellers. Our talks are free to attend (you do not need a Dockyard admission ticket) but spaces are limited. Tickets must be booked in advance. About Rebecca Rebecca Douglas is a photographer, filmmaker and Official FUJIFILM X-Photographer whose work explores the connection between people, place and planet through stories from the wild edges of earth, sea and sky.

Likely freeHistory & HeritageTalks & Lectures

In conversation with... Nicola Moorby, Curator of Historic British Art, Tate

J.M.W. Turner's lifelong engagement with the sea resulted in some of his most dramatic and iconic paintings. This talk provides an overview of his obsession with the ocean and, in particular, his evolving exploration of the concept of the Sublime. A fascinating blend of imagination and observation, his pictures of storms and shipwrecks reflected the anxieties and ambitions of maritime Britain, as well as a personal pursuit of atmosphere and empirical style. Central to Turner's reputation as a modern master, they have become defining images of the Romantic era, as well as an imaginative point of departure for his creative legacy. Nicola Moorby is Curator of Historic British Art, 1790-1850 at Tate. A specialist in nineteenth century landscape, she is the author of Turner and Constable: Art, Life, Landscape, published by Yale University Press, 2025. Our talks are free to attend (you do not need a Dockyard admission ticket) but spaces are limited. Tickets must be booked in advance.
