From the Exhibition “Port of Plymouth” at The Box, Plymouth, Devon

The power and danger of the sea is shown here, as Smeaton’s Tower is lashed by waves as tall as the lighthouse itself.

About the exhibition:

Your journey begins from the moment you enter the gallery, with a large-scale audio visual introduction narrated by Dawn French. The collections bring to life a story that spans thousands of years, from ancient Bronze Age settlements, to its growth into a powerhouse of trade and commerce and into today’s bustling maritime hub
