About Us

OUR MISSION

The UnderSteam collection is dedicated to preserving and sharing the remarkable legacy of the UK’s maritime fleet.

Our collection, comprising over 1450 paintings, is a testament to the pivotal role played by the British Mercantile Fleet during the age of steam, a period when British ships were a dominant force in global shipping.

WHO WE ARE

The Trust aims to educate the public about the rich history of the British Mercantile Marine Sector.

By curating exhibitions, we strive to bring the story of Britain’s maritime prowess to a wider audience, ensuring this crucial chapter of our history is not forgotten.
