The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) has the UK’s largest collection of naval vessels and artefacts, including internationally famous ships such as HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and HMS Caroline. Wessex Archaeology has worked closely with the NMRN as it expands to cover more historic naval vessels around the UK. Following on from our first project putting together the Conservation Management Plan for Nelson’s flagship HMS Victory, we have also completed CMPs and associated recording work for the WWI cruiser HMS Caroline, last survivor of the Battle of Jutland and the submarine HMS Alliance, as well as ongoing work for several other vessels within the NMRN family.

Wessex Archaeology, as official supplier of archaeological and heritage services to the Olympic Delivery Authority, analysed and published the results of the archaeological and cultural heritage investigations at the Olympic Park – the site of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Humber is one of the largest estuaries in Britain with a rich and nationally important archaeological, geological and palaeoenvironmental record. It has been, and still is, a significant transport, trade and communication route. For over 10 years Wessex Archaeology has supported E.ON Climate & Renewables UK Humber Wind Ltd and their consultants ERM on the scheme, before, during and after construction, offshore and onshore.
