Selective Reminiscenses of the

Shipping Galleries in the Science Museum in London

The shipping department of the Science Museum in South Kensington (London) was closed a couple of years ago to make room for a new age. Unfortunately I became aware of this too late to go back and take detailed pictures of the exhibits that are now in storage somewhere in the country-side outside of London. The pictures below were taken during a chance visit with an unsuitable camera. So apologies for the poor quality. The selection was determined by what interested me at the time.
