Improvements and additions this year, include a much bigger and better display to show off some of the artefacts, including the Captain’s chamber pot, recovered from the wreck of HMS Coronation, which sank in 1691.

The Battle of Jutland exhibition has been smartened up to commemorate the 110^th anniversary of that great Battle.  In the café/reception, a brand new temporary exhibit has been created, to highlight the role of the Polish Navy in Devonport during WW2.

The Devonport Naval Heritage Site and Visitor Centre records the development of The Dockyard and Plymouth’s pivotal role in supporting the Royal Navy through major conflicts, including two World Wars. Through its collections, interactive experiences and pictorial interpretation  the drama of the close relationship of Devonport, the Royal Navy, The Dockyard and the people of Plymouth can be explored.

Following changes to the secure boundary of the Naval Base, the Heritage Centre now stands outside this boundary and so booking in advance for entry is no longer required.
