Ranulph FiennesGUEST
But the bits I opened were disconnected.
Ranulph FiennesGUEST
And so I went to Dr. Cook at the Maritime Museum in Greenwich, who's a paper conservation expert, who told me how to do it properly with Gore-Tex sheets and humidity.
Ranulph FiennesGUEST
And I must have got into 50 or 60 percent of the whole book and thought, this is just riveting, not all pleasant, but riveting.
Ranulph FiennesGUEST
and so I took it to a literary agent who took it to a publisher who said it was astounding stuff, providing I could get to the whole book.
Rob ShuterHOST
I love it.
Delaina DixonHOST
I went to the Maritime Museum, and I went on a boat ride.
Rob ShuterHOST
Oh.
Delaina DixonHOST
It was fabulous.
Tracy CollinsHOST
And anybody, if you're coming back to London for a second or third visit, Greenwich will give you a completely different side of London.
Tracy CollinsHOST
So you've got the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum, the Cutty Sark, the Old Royal Naval College.
Tracy CollinsHOST
There's a market.
Tracy CollinsHOST
There's a huge open park, and it's all in one place.
WilkinHOST
when the certainty pressed in that the island's memory had not let go, only receded.
WilkinHOST
Tonight, months after, I found myself in the Maritime Museum, shoes echoing on waxed floors, drawn to the gallery where the old Fresnel lens, never used, said the plaque, was mounted on a perfect brass plinth.
WilkinHOST
Tourists pressed curious palms to the glass.
WilkinHOST
I watched, compelled, unable to turn away, as my reflection wavered in the lens.
WilkinHOST
I could bring nothing across that threshold, nothing that would make sense of the missing or comfort those left behind.
WilkinHOST
Months passed.
WilkinHOST
I bought a ticket to the city's maritime museum under a false name, thinking distance might dissolve what memory couldn't.
WilkinHOST
But the exhibit was there regardless.
Rick HinesGUEST
And I know this because I was on a cruise in my harbor on a replica.
Rick HinesGUEST
There was the museum that the Maritime Museum had a replica of the of the Columbus to Santa Maria ship.
Rick HinesGUEST
and I was talking to him about I was asking questions about how did Europeans go from medieval times to 1400s like how they suddenly became are there any intermediate ships did they go to to the Azores or do they make baby steps how did they go from there to there they said well the Chinese ships were way more advanced at the time than Europeans were you know then he said you know Chinese chunks they were far more advanced and he he he was a sailor knew knew what he was talking about so chinese could go everywhere way before columbus and probably probably as far back as venetians but the whole world isn't speaking chinese why is that and so next slide um so oh wait a minute go back go back um go back um this is this is an egyptian this is an example of an egyptian in the fifth dynasty ship these are ships that could have gone around the world So that's one of the false narratives that we have, that technology equals conquest.
Rick HinesGUEST
That's the word, Tom.
Jill FinnGUEST
Yes, it very much is and more and more so because the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships are welcomed with open arms.
Jill FinnGUEST
We've got the Maritime Museum, we've got the tunnels who do fantastic work on making sure that Not only the locals, but all our visitors are aware of the massive part that Ramsgate played during the war and has worked at ever since being the only Royal Harbour in England.
Jill FinnGUEST
So she, as in Ramsgate, is a very important place.
Sam WillisHOST
Yeah.
HankGUEST
But [laughs] so we did a lap, and by the time, um, you know, it's, the, we did the entire circle, um, the rain had pretty much stopped.
HankGUEST
And, and we got out, and we walked over to the Maritime Museum.
Doug ParkerHOST
Mm-hmm.
HankGUEST
Uh, right there on the water.
HankGUEST
It was really nice.
Doug ParkerHOST
Mm-hmm.
HankGUEST
And the walk between the Maritime Museum, it S- back to the ship was a decent length, and it was, it was just, it was lovely.
HankGUEST
You're right.
Holly FreyHOST
And I'm Holly Frey.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
Not long ago, I went to the Maritime Museum in San Diego, California, which if you like boats and ships and maritime history, it was worth a stop.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
Uh, it's also right down the road from the USS Midway Museum, so if you would like some military history and some maritime history all together, like you could just spend a whole day out there.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
Um, don't do what I did and lose your camera, though.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
Fortunately, I didn't lose my phone.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
I only lost my point-and-shoot camera.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
Anyway, the, the actual point is, uh, among the many seafaring vessels at the Maritime Museum is this Soviet Foxtrot-class submarine, which, uh, is home to an exhibit about a really harrowing incident I had never heard about before.
Tracy V. WilsonHOST
It was one of the surprisingly many moments in history when the world came perilously close to a full-scale nuclear war.
Jamie SpenceHOST
But then the executive director came back to us and said, "Look, I, I wanna do another one.
Jamie SpenceHOST
I wanna go to the Maritime Museum and do a bigger one." And then after that, there were others.
Jamie SpenceHOST
And we were, me in particular, I was ve- skeptical, very skeptical.
Jamie SpenceHOST
But we, we talked about it.
Jamie SpenceHOST
We were all supportive.
Jamie SpenceHOST
We all went, "Wow.
Jamie SpenceHOST
Okay, the next one at the Maritime Museum's gonna be big." That's got a lot of politics around it and it's, it's, you know, it's, it's a different fit.
Jamie SpenceHOST
It's exponentially larger.
