In their golden age from the 1920s to the 1950s ocean liners were the lifeblood of Southampton, bringing employment, industry and glamour to the city. From the early days in the 1890s to modern times, a new major exhibition coming to SeaCity Museum in Spring 2016 tells the story of these great ships and evokes the romance of sea travel.

The exhibition includes a wide range of rarely seen items from the city’s maritime collection including ship models, posters, photographs and objects from the great liners such as menu cards and souvenirs. This is the first time that these items will have been displayed on such an extensive scale.

To further celebrate such an important part of Southampton’s history SeaCity Museum running a competition offering local people the chance to give the exhibition a name! They are looking for a title that highlights the ocean liner and maritime travel theme while promoting a sense of nostalgia, luxury and the links with Southampton. The competition winner will receive an invitation to the private launch event, an annual family pass to SeaCity & Tudor House and a limited edition framed canvas print of one of the posters featured in the exhibition.

To enter, just simply send your idea to [email protected] with the subject 'SeaCity Competition'. The closing date for entries is Midday on Monday 16 November 2015.
