Today marks the start of National Doughnut Week, we hope we almost tricked you scrolling past a delicious chocolate doughnut?
This is actually a doughnut shaped Gun carriage wheel (truck). The outside edge is carved. “.P.16.H”. Just to the left of this is a small carved letter that appears to be a “T”. The naval gun carriage had large ‘trucks’ at the front, and small ones at the back. This led to it being known as the ‘truck’ carriage – named after the four small wheels on which it was mounted.

If we did manage to make you a bit peckish... why not drop by our Wagon Stop Canteen or Mess Deck Restaurant on your next visit to the Dockyard to pick up a real doughnut or sweet treat!

🍩 National Doughnut week is an official fundraising week for The Children’s Trust.

20/05/2023

On This Day in 1905 Chatham Dockyard's last Battleship, HMS AFRICA, was launched. HMS AFRICA was a King Edward VII Class battleship which was laid down on No 8 slip on 27th January 1904 and completed in November 1906. No 8 slip, built in 1900, was larger than earlier slips, being designed for the building of battleships.

HMS AFRICA was the largest warship ever built at Chatham. In 1912 HMS AFRICA was fitted with a temporary sloping flight deck over the forward gun turret and forecastle for seaplane trials. Lieutenant Charles Samson RN, made the first take-off from a British ship on 10 January 1912, flying a Short Brothers pusher biplane; the trials took place off Sheerness. HMS AFRICA paid off in 1919 prior to being placed on the disposal list, and was sold for breaking up in 1920.

☀️The sun is shining for the Alfa Romeo Club photoshoot today 📷

We're delighted to announce that they will be returning on Sunday 3 September as the Dockyard will become an Italian petrol heads playground when we play host to Southern Alfa Day (SAD 2023).

Organised by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club Kent & East Sussex, the Dockyard will be filled with the sights and sounds of hundreds of these stunning cars as they share the space alongside our own 400-year history.

🚘There’s a saying that goes” you aren’t a true petrol head until you’ve owned an Alfa Romeo” so if you want to check out why this is and to see what’s likely to be the largest gathering of Alfa Romeos in the South then the Historic Dockyard is definitely the place to be!

Access to the Southern Alfa Day is included in a ticket to the Historic Dockyard: https://bit.ly/3OlbIFc

⚓Did you know that we have a dedicated team of volunteers focussed on cleaning the objects in our iconic No.3 Slip?

Built in 1838, the immense No. 3 Covered Slip was, when built, the largest wide span timber structure in Europe. Today it is home to a vast array of epic objects and vehicles from the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust, Imperial War Museums and Royal Engineers Museum, Library and Archive collections.

The volunteers clean the objects with brushes and hoovers with some of the objects having deposits on them so they use a mixture of conservation approved detergent and distilled water.

We have 8 volunteers doing this – we call them the '3 Slippers'. They volunteer throughout the year, working their way through the objects – from front to back. By the time they reach the back, the front already needs cleaning again, so it's a never ending job!

👏As always we thank our volunteers for their hard work and dedication

Did you know that we store over a thousand glass plate negatives in our climate controlled archive stack? Over the last 12 months, collections volunteers and work placement students have helped our Conservator carry out a thorough condition audit to monitor potential degradation.

So what is a glass negative? It consists of a light sensitive emulsion that is fixed to the glass plate base with a binder. They require very careful handling and a clean, cool environment. Karoline wears gloves to prevent oil from her fingers making its way into the silver, as oil is a component that will cause deterioration over time. After the condition audit is complete, the Collections Team will digitise the collection for everyone to enjoy.

We can't wait for the Medway Platinum Jubilee River Pageant this afternoon 🛥️🛶⛵👑

Live music, food and crafts at Sun Pier Chatham from 12pm and the boats will parade from Queenborough, Sheppey, along to Chatham by 2.30pm.

The climax comes at 3.30pm with the Grand Cacophony of boat and ship horns, sirens, canons and more from vessels on the water, plus from the Historic Dockyard Chatham and a 21-gun Royal Salute at Fort Amherst 🔊👑



Pageant organised by Tiller & Wheel 👏

I just came across this site, the Photo below is from the late 80's maybe early 90's. I was working onboard a cruise liner and we docked in Nassau in the Bahamas. Walking into town I spotted HMS Ocelot docked and chatted to the gangway person who invited me back later for a tour. As I was a brit I got the full tour and then invited for a few beers in their messroom. What really made me laugh was every space imaginable under seats, behind things they had beer cans stored. As it was on active service you can tell it was a very different era back then as I had no issues at all in a full tour, I guess nowadays it would not have been allowed. As I had been away from the UK for several months it was great to have a beer with a few brits.

🐾 For a doggy day out with a difference, it’s hard to beat Historic Dockyard Chatham in Kent.

From visiting 1870s warship HMS Gannet or 1960s submarine Ocelot to the Victorian Ropery and the RNLI Lifeboat Collection, there’s loads to do here, and that’s without special events such as the regular railway weekends and the popular Salute to the 40s annual vintage festival (which many people bring their dogs to, some even in costume!) Dogs are allowed on site for event days and general days, but must be kept on a lead at all times. They aren’t allowed in the museums or on the historic ships, but as an 80-acre site there is lots of open space to wander around for a good walk, and on event days there is a lot more going on outside that visitors with dogs can access. Call the Midwife is filmed here too, so there are also location tours for this much-loved BBC drama (https://thedockyard.co.uk/)
