Going boldly: across, beneath and beyond the ocean by Jeremy Batch

Thursday 13th October 2022 at 20:00. Venue - The Dog and Bear Hotel, Lenham, Kent

What sort of lifejackets did the ancient Egyptians wear, and what did the Inuit carry on the back of their kayaks? How did the Assyrians manage to swim in full armour and when did we first learn to breathe underwater? How have we (almost) overcome scurvy? How did the shipworm help Marc Brunel drive a tunnel under the Thames? How did the tomato worm and the Playtex company help 12 men to walk on the moon and what will the next generation of space suits and diving suits look like? Answers to these and many other questions will be revealed by Jeremy on the night.
