Handy information
One aspect of the history of sailing that is most commonly shrouded in silence is the sexuality of the men who spent days, months and even years aboard ships, confined to very small spaces where privacy was almost non-existent.
The relations established on board, in terms of obedience, were governed by rules and hierarchies that were stricter than those on land. However, in a remote place, and without the presence of women, where men of different religions, ages and social strata all coexisted together, sexuality was also experienced in an easy, flexible manner. The bodies of the crew members needed and desired to make contact with each other.
The aim of this exhibition is to take a look at the erotic, sexual and emotional relations that have taken place on ships over the centuries. For the Maritime Museum team, it also represents a further step in their determination to change the narrative of the institution, and to make it more inclusive in terms of gender and sexual diversity.
