About.

Discover the exciting story of the 1588 Armada and its place in history.

The Armada programme is designed to breathe life into a pivotal moment in English history through interactive maps, replica handling sessions and a guided exploration of a 16th-century galleon.

Students will utilise the unique environment of their galleon and its replica collection to help them wrestle with the key historical question: ‘Why did the Armada fail?’

Students will also be provided with their pre and post-visit resources, designed to encourage them to get the most out of their visit.

Learning Objectives

To recognise the factors that impacted the failure of the 1588 Armada and be able to argue their importance.
To utilise the environment of the ship and its replica collection to gain a clear understanding of the difficulties and dangers faced by 16th-century mariners and how they relate to the 1588 Armada.
To develop historical skills of enquiry, comparison and debate.
