The Prize Papers Talks are also entering a new round this year. This time in a special edition in collaboration with the Prize Papers Project and the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven on the topic of Ships & Seafaring 1500-1800. Together we seek to combine perspectives on the written sources of the past with insights into the material world of seafaring - from surviving ships symbolic of maritime heritage, such as the Vasa, the Mary Rose and the Bremen Cog, to artefacts from the age of sail, including Faroe jumpers or coins, as well as personal letters, ships' passports and logbooks drawn from the Prize Papers collection at the National Archives of the United Kingdom and related collections worldwide. The Prize Papers comprise documents and artefacts seized from foreign ships by British privateers and warships between 1652 and 1815 and are currently being digitised by the Prize Papers Project. More information and the sign-up link can be found at https://www.prizepapers.de/events/prize-papers-lunch-talks. The project is funded by the Lower Saxony Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Göttingen.
