This July the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology and the Nautical Archaeology Society will be continuing their Local Heritage Initiative funded project at Forton Lake, Gosport. The main aim of the project is to allow the local inhabitants of Gosport to research, record, and display their maritime heritage. At the same time the intention is that more information will be gathered about the potential archaeological remains at Forton Lake, which is limited to brief knowledge of the hulks in the area.
Sunday 15th July 11am to 3pm will be the main open day for the project with an action packed family fun day being held at the Mill Lane side of St Vincent’s College. There will be something for everyone; from face painting and badge making for the children to guided tours of the fascinating archaeology. Visitors will be encouraged to come in marine themed fancy dress and the costumes will be judged at 2pm.
We would like to invite as many local groups with an interest in archaeology, local history, the sea or even the local wildlife to come along and bring a display or even hands on activities. If you want more information or to book a space contact Alison.hamer@hwtma.org.uk or Tel: 023 8023 7300.
I will be there with the Gosport.info display pick-up your free pen or badge while stocks last. Ian
