In celebration of World Oceans Day on June 8th, the Mary Rose Museum invites visitors on an unforgettable cinematic journey beneath the waves with a special screening of Ocean with David Attenborough.
Narrated by the legendary Sir David Attenborough, Ocean explores the extraordinary diversity of life beneath the surface of our seas and highlights the urgent need to protect this fragile ecosystem.
Presented in the Museum’s state-of-the-art Dive the Mary Rose 4D theatre, this immersive film combines breathtaking underwater visuals with Attenborough’s iconic narration to deliver a captivating, multisensory experience for all ages.
The film is included in admission to the Museum or with an Ultimate Explorer ticket. Both screenings on the 7th and 8th June will start at 10am – first come, first served, with seating for 40 people.
Sir David Attenborough said: “Today, we’re living in the greatest age of ocean discovery for many of us, the world beyond the beach is still dark, threatening, and dangerous, out of sight, and most certainly out of mind. It’s time to take the plunge to go beneath the waves. For once, you’ve truly seen the sea, you’ll never look at Earth in the same way again.”
Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.
“We are thrilled to host this screening in honour of World Oceans Day,” said Dominic Jones, Mary Rose Trust Chief Executive. “As guardians of a remarkable ship recovered from the seabed, we understand the power and importance of our oceans. This film is a perfect complement to the story of the Mary Rose, reminding us of the ocean’s past, present, and future.”
