Swan Hunter was responsible for some of the greatest ships of the 20th century and this new exhibition will explore the history of one of the best known shipbuilding companies in the UK.

The exhibition has been created by a variety of individuals and community groups in the North East, who have worked with Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums outreach team.

On display in the exhibition are a range of photographs, technical drawings, film and video footage of Swan Hunter, as well as recorded memories of people who either worked at or were in some way connected with the shipyard.

BALTIC is holding a free event on 10 June to complement this exhibition, and BALTIC's own exhibition, The Things That Happen When Falling in Love. Click here to find out more about the event at BALTIC.
