The Historical Maritime Society
The Naval Re-Enactors
You are at: HMS Home
The Historical Maritime Society is a UK based historical research and re-enactment group recreating the Royal Navy.
Our main area of interest is the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These were the exciting times around the year 1805 when Britain was threatened by Bonaparte and only the Royal Navy could prevent invasion from across the Channel. 1805 was the year when Britain's greatest hero, Lord Horatio Nelson, sailed off to his fatal encounter at Trafalgar. Our aim is to educate and inform about shipboard life in the time of Nelson, and to have fun doing it.
We also have a growing interest in the Royal Navy of World War II. Click here for more information.
