Powering the First World War: HMS Caroline Engine Room Talk and Tour

Step into the atmospheric Engine Room of HMS Caroline for an evening that brings science, innovation and history to life. Discover how Sir Charles Parson's revolutionary steam turbines transformed naval engineering and propelled Britain into a new technological age. 

Learn too about his daughter, Rachel Parson, a pioneering engineer and campaigner who broke barriers for women in science.

Surrounded by the original engines that once roared into action at the Battle of Jutland, this talk offers a fascinating journey into the power, people, and progress that shaped the 20th century.
