Sea life Blackpool are proud to host the world’s first underwater exhibition!
'Celebrations of the Sea' aims to honour the maritime industry's unsung heroes. From the fishermen who brave the UK's stormiest seas and traditional lobster pot makers who keep precious fishing traditions alive to our most talented celebrity chefs who transform fish into some of the nation's favourite dishes - all are celebrated in this unique and special collection of photographs, which will be touring Sealife Centres around the UK as an exhibition, where the images are in the tanks with the marine life.
Born out of a partnership between national maritime charity the Shipwrecked Mariner' Society and renowned underwater photographer and TV Producer Kate Westaway, the project is a celebration of those hardworking individuals who work in and around the sea.
The exhibitions dates at the Sea Life Centres are as follows:
• 29th November - 5th December; Blackpool
• 6th December - 12th December; Scarborough
Please help support seafarers in need by making a donation online at www.shipwreckedmariners.org.uk

We hope you enjoy the images and would like to say a huge thanks to all who posed underwater!
