Tying together fact and fiction in maritime history.
Based in Exeter’s historic Custom House and around its Heritage Harbour, Bowlines will explore major themes in maritime literature. These will include:
Characters and Characterisation – Inputs both on real characters and creating imagined
ones.
Disaster – Wars, shipwrecks and the efforts to improve maritime safety.
These will be approached via inputs both from respected maritime historians and well known writers of naval fiction. The event will have a variety of inputs, ranging from talks to lively panel discussions designed to explore emerging themes in maritime literature.
