IMO Launches She Sees Exhibition Celebrating Female Seafarers

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has launched a new exhibition called She Sees, which celebrates the work of female seafarers. The exhibition is part of the Rewriting Women into Maritime History project, led by the Lloyd’s Register Foundation, which aims to tell the stories of women in the maritime industry both past and present. Nautilus, a partner in the project, has contributed three stories of female ‘officer pioneers of the 1970s’. The exhibition includes a photograph of Nautilus Council member Captain Jessica Tyson at work. The She Sees exhibition will be on display at the IMO headquarters in London and there is also an online version available.

The launch event for the exhibition was well-attended and provided an opportunity for maritime women from different sectors to share their experiences. The exhibition will continue to be on display at the IMO headquarters and an online version is also available. The Rewriting Women into Maritime History project is set to expand internationally, with contributions from Nautilus branches in the Netherlands and Switzerland, as well as further input from Britain and Ireland.
