The King’s Maritime History Seminars for 2022-23 will continue as hybrid events which means that they may be attended in person or online. As always, attendance is free and open to all. To take part, you must register on Eventbrite by visiting the KCL School of Security Studies Events page, here: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/security-studies/events . For those attending online, you will receive instructions shortly before the event, by email, about how to join by Zoom. Otherwise, we will meet in person as usual in the Dockrill Room, K6.07, at King’s College London. Papers will begin at 17:15 GMT.
The King’s Maritime History Seminar is hosted by the ‘Laughton Naval History Unit’ and the ‘Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War’ in the Department of War Studies, King’s College London. It is organised by the British Commission for Maritime History (www.maritimehistory.org.uk) in association with the Society for Nautical Research (https://snr.org.uk/).
