The Mayflower Autonomous Ship returns to the UK for future missions!
Just before the New Year, Mayflower returned to Plymouth and is now safely at her new home at HMNB Devonport. Over the coming months, we’ll be preparing her for significant, long-range at-sea missions, operating from Plymouth throughout the spring and summer. 🌊
We are excited to see her getting ready to go back out, and continue to support ocean research, exploration, and innovation, building on her legacy while looking firmly toward the future.

The final resting place of HMS Nottingham, the last missing WWI British light cruiser, has been discovered, identified, and documented by the team at ProjectXplore . Well done to the team for this accomplishment!
We’re proud to have supported this important expedition, which contributes to the preservation and understanding of maritime history.
ProjectXplore brings divers together with shipwreck exploration initiatives, offering rare insight into historic wrecks- this one being a particularly significant find.
After eight months of planning, divers were deployed in July 2025 to document the wreck following April 2025 surveys; using towed side-scan sonar (SSS), down-scanning sonar (DSS), and a single-beam echo sounder (SBES) to further understand the site.
HMS Nottingham saw action at Heligoland Bight, Dogger Bank, and Jutland before being torpedoed by German submarine U-52 on 19 August 1916. We honour the memory of those who lost their lives that day.

What a great time we had at Super Saturday at The Box Plymouth! 🌊
We had the chance to show off the magic of VR and the first stage of our virtual museum, where you can get up close, and interact with some of our scans. From scanning hidden treasures in The Box’s archive to bringing Plymouth’s rich maritime history to life, it was amazing to share our work - and even better to see the public get involved and make scans of their own!
We loved connecting with everyone, hearing local stories, and discovering brand-new things about the specimens we've scanned 🔍
Huge thanks to everyone who joined us, the organisers, and the other stands - you were all amazing! We can’t wait for more events like this!
If you met us at the event, or have only just heard of us and have anything you'd like to share - whether it’s a story related to Plymouth's maritime history, a specimen, or an artefact- let us know; we'd love to connect and start our community collection!
Adela Hawley Ayse Atauz Phaneuf and Charlotte Ashcroft-Booth attended the stall for the event.
