Contemporary Collecting at the Submarine Museum

The Submarine Museum is looking to complete its full-scale nuclear bunk space

display in the Fieldhouse Building. We would like to create a typical 1970s/80s era

rating's locker filled with all the items that would have been taken to sea during that period.

If anyone can help by donating any of the items listed below, please contact the

Keeper of Artefacts, Alexandra Geary, on 02392 510354 ext 227, or email [email protected] .

Also, if you think that I have missed something out on the list please do get in touch!

Thank you in advance for your help.
