The House of Manannan

200th Anniversary Display, All at Sea Exhibition

About the Exhibition

A new exhibition exploring the Isle of Man's remarkable maritime heritage and honouring the 200th anniversary of the RNLI opens at the House of Manannan on Saturday 17 February 2024. 'All at Sea' uncovers some of the tragic events in Manx waters which motivated Manx resident, Sir William Hillary to establish a national maritime lifesaving institution.

The story of the Herring Fleet Disaster features in the exhibition in which thirty-six men and fifty boats were lost in Douglas on 20 September 1787. Just one incident of thousands in only 12 nautical miles of Manx waters, 'All at Sea' presents stories of some of those shipwrecks and their inextricable link to the foundation of today's RNLI.
