Check out this interesting feature on BBC’s Inside/Out exploring the floating prisoners in Medway. The programme features MAKEs own Julian Rowe talking about his recent model ship installation at Rochester Cathedral. The work, presented in a recent blog here on the MAKE website, is referenced to the famous model ships made of bone that were constructed by prisoners-of-war jailed here in England during the 18th century, a number of which form part of the model ships collection at the Chatham Historic Dockyards.
Following the link below and forward to 10:13 to view the feature, or just skip to 15:00 to catch Julian’s work.
