Under expert guidance, obtain practical experience in recording cannon using a variety of examples at the Royal Armouries Museum. There will be a second day to put your new experience into practice on a guided walk of Portsmouth town. Then for the divers attending the course, they can really test their learning by diving on the warship 'Hazardous Prize' and record and research the cannon underwater.
Please note, that there is prerequisite theoretical learning to complete beforehand which also costs £50 eLearning Cannon Recording and Research course.
