School pupils from Flying Bull Primary School, Charles Dickens Junior School and Corpus Christi RC Primary School created ‘Soul Sails’ with local artist Debbie Dodsworth as part of a schools art project. Each sail was made up of several unique panels, each designed and printed by a child and including patterns and shapes they chose during a visit to the Dockyard.
Over 350 people visited the roadshow and had the opportunity to handle fascinating objects, try on clothes, create their own Nelson hats & medals, and make their own mini ships. Families were entertained by salty sea tales.

Mary Kinoulty, Head of Learning for the Mary Rose Museum said, "It was a great opportunity to meet families who do not usually visit the dockyard. The range of activities on offer meant that there was something for everyone to enjoy. Let’s hope that this is the first of many such events."
