The Ocean Photographer of the Year exhibition opens 28 Mar - 31 Aug 2026 for its first UK showing, after touring Sydney, Melbourne and Cape Town.
Featuring 116 backlit images from ocean photographers worldwide.
“The story here is of the sea,” said Nick Ball, collections, galleries and interpretation manager at Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust.
“Previously the focus of the dockyard was building ships that could sail around the world. Now the focus on oceans is environment and conservation. It’s that jumping-off point – the sea as the centre of our history – in a completely new direction.” For a country that is, as Ball put it, fundamentally “an island nation”, the exhibition offers the chance to rediscover a relationship with the ocean that has defined Britain for centuries.
