Join our volunteers as we explore the World Heritage Jurassic Coast coastline. Our route will see Shieldhall depart her Poole Quay berth, passing the exclusive Sandbanks area and crossing the chain ferry route close to the port entrance before sailing south. We’ll pass Old Harry Rocks, Swanage, Peveral Point, historic Durlston Castle and Anvil Point Lighthouse. Once past Anvil point we’ll head west passing Guillemot Ledge, Dancing Ledge and Seacombe Cliff to reach our western most point, St. Aldhem’s Head, before turning around and retracing our route to Poole, at which point guests will be serenaded by the Wareham Whalers Shanty Band.As part of your cruise, view the impressive engine room with its original steam engines at work and the bridge, with its traditional instruments and gleaming brasswork; admire the ship’s steam assisted steering gear (similar to that used on Titanic); talk to the Captain and our volunteer crew; listen to the informed commentary on the sights and sounds of Southampton Water and The Solent; pass close to the great ocean liners and container ships; walk the teak decks; relax in the Saloon with our wide range of refreshments including tea / coffee; real ale; a range of Titanic bottled beers; wine and hot and cold food, available on all trips. Courtesy parking available close to berth. Children will have fun with our interactive Shieldhall Log Book, collecting stickers from various stations on board!
**IMPORTANT**
We are still awaiting official confirmation on the dates & timings of the 2024 Bournemouth Air Festival. Once confirmed, our bookings pages will go live with tickets for our planned week in Poole which is provisionally from Monday 26th August until Monday 2nd September 2024. At this moment, you may still “express your interest” in any of the provisional excursions shown. We will contact those who have shown an ‘expression of interest’ on the website as soon as confirmed news is known.
