Shipwrecks on the Thames

Shipwrecks on the Thames
The Sheppey Little Theatre Talks Tickets £4 on the door. Doors open 7.30 Rob Smith With so many ships visiting London, it is hardly surprising that there have been thousands of shipwrecks in the Thames. This talk tells the story of 12 ships that have sunk in the Thames, from a Roman cargo ship, to a mysterious sinking in the Cold War. Rob will show you pictures and maps to accompany the talk, which will be delivered over Zoom, and he will give you some suggestions of places to visit to find out more about ships like the 17th century ship whose sinking shocked Samuel Pepys, or the ship full of explosives that still sits at the bottom of the Thames Estuary.
