Skull & Crossbones: Living under the Jolly Roger
Become a pirate in this special family exhibition, learn how to speak pirate, command your boat, discover treasure, hoist your Jolly Roger and set sail for a pirate tour of the museum.
Find out why submarines fly Jolly Rogers and how the Royal Navy Submarine Service combats modern day piracy.
The Jolly Roger adoption as the battle ensign of the Royal Navy Submarine Service began when Lt Cdr Max Horton RN, in command of HMS E9, raised the Jolly Roger in September 1914 on return from the patrol which he sank the German cruiser Hela and the destroyer S-116. He had remembered the words of Vice Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson, when he has spoke out against the adoption of the submarine by the Royal Navy in 1901, “The Crews of all submarines captured should be treated as pirates and hanged”
The exhibition features the oldest surviving Jolly Roger from the WW1 E54 submarine and the newest from HMS Trenchant which was flown recently in Afghanistan.
Tickets: Free with a valid museum ticket
Family Events

Father Christmas at the North Pole
Meet Father Christmas on a WW2 Submarine at the North Pole in Gosport, complete with snow!
Today, in these days of satellite navigation and tracking systems, Father Christmas likes to remain secretive as he travels around the world delivering presents. He now uses a submarine packed with presents and his reindeer of course!
Walk through the falling snow of the North Pole and come and meet him on his submarine as he prepares to set sail on Christmas Eve.
In recent times many serving Royal Navy submarines would meet at the North Pole for Christmas. Records show that they erect a Christmas tree on the top and have invited reindeer onboard.
Free gift for every child.
