The Historical Maritime Society-The Naval Re-Enactors


The Historical Maritime Society is a UK - based reenactment organisation researching and portraying life in Horatio Nelson's Royal Navy. There is also a growing interest within the Society in all matters naval and in other periods - including WW2

HMS has made regular appearances in TV documentaries including the Channel 4 series The Worst Jobs in History (2004), in which presenter Tony Robinson of Blackadder fame, sampled life in the Georgian Royal Navy. The filming took place aboard HMS Trincomalee which is permanently moored at the historic quay at Hartlepool, UK.

The Society is priviliged to perform aboard HMS Victory at the Royal Naval Dockyard at Portsmouth, and the National Maritime Museum on a regular basis.

HMS recently constructed its own replica 'cutter' or launch which can be equipped with its own, fully operational replica carronade.
