Gloucester 1682 - A Shipwreck lost for over 300 years
A Different View are privileged to have been appointed to Gloucester - the most important shipwreck find since the Mary Rose. On 6th May 1682 the warship carrying the future King of England and Scotland ran aground and sank. Lost for over 300 years it was found by divers Lincoln and Julian Barnwell. Our work will gaze into the future and develop a compelling vision and concept for Gloucester and its collections.
It is a truly unique project of national and international significance, and we’re thrilled to be involved. Via consultation, discussion and imagination our multi-disciplinary team will deliver a concept that breaks traditional moulds and delivers on an ambitious mission.
Since its discovery in the Summer of 2022, the shipwreck has received much international media attention, and has since been featured in articles from CNN, ITV, and The Guardian. It is a truly unique project of national and international significance, and we’re thrilled to be involved.
Whilst this project is unlike any other on earth, A Different View are no stranger to tackling ambitious capital projects with multi-disciplinary teams. Both Woburn Abbey and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard come to mind as projects of similar stature.
This is another endeavour that will see us collaborate with David Morley Architects, who have been by our side for recent projects such as with The BFI and Surrey County Council.
Temporary exhibition
From February 25th to September 10th, Norwich Castle Museum is running - The Last Voyage of The Gloucester: Norfolk’s Royal Shipwreck, 1682 - an exhibition co-curated by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Norfolk Museums Service.
The exhibition reveals the story of the ship’s ill-fated final journey and the painstaking work to retrieve, conserve and research some of its artefacts, including wine bottles, spectacles, clay pipes, navigational tools, textiles, and the ship’s bell.
Tickets are available to the public via the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery website here.
