The Stories of the Gloucester Shipwreck: Norfolk's Mary Rose

The discovery of the Gloucester warship off the coast of Great Yarmouth by Julian and Lincoln Barnwell, and James Little, wrecked while carrying a future King of England and Scotland in 1682, was announced to the world in June 2022. The shipwreck is hailed as the most significant historic maritime discovery since finding the Mary Rose in 1971. 

In four events, curators of the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery exhibition titled ‘The Last Voyage of the Gloucester: Norfolk’s Royal Shipwreck, 1682’, and experts in the field, explored the Gloucester’s stories as they are told through music and drinking, literature and history, art and textiles. 

You can find out more about the wreckage and the exhibition here on the UEA website.

Event series convened by Claire Jowitt, Professor of Renaissance Studies and Historical Lead, The Gloucester Project, UEA
