A GROUP of organizations within the maritime industry are collaborating to highlight activities undertaken by women in shipping over the past few centuries, reports Athens Safety4Sea.
The 'Rewriting women into maritime history' project will collect material that is spread across archives beginning within London and expanding to the UK, Ireland, and internationally.
It accounts for women in the shipping industry that can be identified and placed in the public domain for the first time
Led by the Lloyd's Register Foundation Heritage and Education Centre (LRF HEC), the collaboration currently involves Lloyd's List, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the Nautical Institute, the Women in Shipping and Trade Association (WISTA UK), Nautilus International and Preston Turnbull LLP.
It is also being supported by The International Congress of Maritime Museums (ICMM), The National Maritime Museum, the University of Exeter, and The British Commission for Maritime History (BCMH).
