Case Studies / Design & Build
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Falmouth truly was Britain's 'first and last port of call'. For travellers and cargoes, it was quicker to embark or disembark at the flourishing Cornish port than to tack all the way along the English Channel to and from London.
Artefacts were used as the starting point to develop interpretive media that tells the story of how Falmouth grew up to supply these ships and their crews with everything from food to religious instruction. Central to the exhibition is a young sea captain's diary recording his impressions as he sailed into Falmouth for the first time and a room set showing a shipping agent at work.
"Imagemakers' ability to immerse themselves in our local stories was key to developing a strong underlying theme for the whole gallery. The result is a strong cohesive story that draws people in through images, sounds and objects. We were very impressed with their process." Ben Lumby, Exhibitions Manager, National Maritime Museum.
