| Description | Gay life on the Ocean Wave
This touring exhibition from National Museums Liverpool reveals a hidden side of the Merchant Navy, from the 1950's - 80's where excited young men dressed as Hollywood stars by night and operated as efficient crew members by day. The exhibition includes reproductions of personal photographs and memorabilia from crew members, video interviews and excerpts from the radio show Round the Horne and the film Carry on Cruising. Themes covered include gay life on board ship (on and off duty), experiences of the crew members in foreign sea ports and more seriously, the potential threat of homophobia or dismissal for being a gay member of staff.
Hello Sailor! also includes a recreation of a steward's cabin, where the seafarer prepared for every occasion, and a place for performance, parties and assignations! |
