Projects
The Society has launched and supported numerous projects to promote understanding of the world's maritime history.
It has contributed to the rescue and preservation of several historic ships, notably HMS Victory. The Society has also undertaken some reconstruction itself, for example of small craft such as HMS Victory's cutter.
The SNR played the leading role in the founding of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich and the Royal Naval Museum at Portsmouth. It continues to support the NMM and other museums devoted to maritime history.
As trustee of the MacPherson Collection Endowment Fund, the Society helps to maintain the collection at the National Maritime Museum and buys new items and paintings to expand it.
One of the Society's recent projects was undertaken to celebrate the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar. In partnership with the Woodland Trust, the Society supported the planting of thousands of trees in the Trafalgar woods project.
