Britain Conflict and the Sea Conference
Posted: Monday 19th May 2025
Event date: 12 & 13 September 2025
Location: National Maritime Museum (Royal Museums Greenwich)
An interdisciplinary conference developed in collaboration with and hosted by Royal Museums Greenwich, with generous support from the British Academy
Understandings of ‘Britishness’ have been bound up with conflict and seafaring for centuries. The sea has served as a barrier, marking the mental borderlines of an ‘island people’ and distinguishing them from European ‘others’. It has also facilitated the development and projection of British imperial power and capital on a global scale. This conference aims to explore the production, consumption, evolution and impact of these ideas and developments between the Napoleonic Wars and today.
