Hidden histories of Black Greenwich Pensioners exhibition from the Old Royal Naval College.
This October, we are delving into our rich and complex past, shining a light on the Black mariners that played a crucial role in our history. Our new exhibition Black Greenwich Pensioners explores the hidden histories of the Black Royal Navy personnel who formed one of Britain’s earliest Black communities when they became pensioners at the Royal Hospital for Seaman on the site where the Old Royal Naval College stands today.
