Shipwrights' Lectures
In 2011 The Worshipful Company of Shipwrights, with the support of the University of Southampton, laid the foundation for a series of Annual Lectures to be presented to apprentices, young shipwrights, students and graduates by invited industry leaders. The purpose being to inspire and motivate young people engaged in the UK’s £3 billion unique international position in the super yacht, yacht and boat design and building industry. The annual lectures are held at the University of Southampton each year and are free to all attendees.
The 2023 Annual Shipwrights’ Lectures will be held on
Tuesday 17 October 2023
at the MAST Mayflower Studios, Southampton
2021 saw the Lectures move to their new venue at MAST Mayflower Studios in Southampton City Centre. Despite a reduced post Covid attendance the very favourable feedback indicated the event to be widely regarded as one of the best! Read the latest Press Release here.
