The Phoenicians: The Greatest Ancient Sailors

This exhibition on board an authentic replica of a Phoenician ship from 600BC, currently moored inside St Katharine Dock next to the Starbucks rotunda, at the back of the Tower Bridge hotel, is an opportunity to learn more about the mysterious Phoenicians. On display are historic artefacts, including gold and silver Phoenician coins, alongside interactive exhibits and media clips telling the story of how the ship was built, why the Phoenicians were the greatest ancient sailors and the challenges of sailing a vessel designed in 600BC. There's a quiz for kids to take part in as they tour the boat.
