Trafalgar Woods is part of SeaBritain 2005
SeaBritain 2005 is a national maritime celebration on a grand scale. With festivities and events throughout 2005 and beyond, SeaBritain 2005 celebrates the ways in which the sea touches all of our lives. Whether you live by the coast or inland, everyone can get involved.
The SeaBritain 2005 team is based in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich and is working in close partnership with The Royal Navy, VisitBritain, The National Trust, Sea Vision UK, the Royal Yachting Association, Trinity House and many other organisations including the Woodland Trust.
SeaBritain 2005 has the Trafalgar Festival at its heart, inspired as it is by the Battle of Trafalgar and the death in action of Admiral Lord Nelson. Events throughout the summer and autumn will mark the 200th anniversary of Nelson's finest and last hour, a high point being the Trafalgar weekend of 21 – 23 October 2005.
2005 is a special year in which to celebrate Britain's rich maritime heritage. The sea has shaped our history and our culture. For us in this seafaring nation it has been our defence in time of war, our trading link with the world, a rich source of food and natural resources and a magnet for tourists and holiday-makers. It has inspired our artists, musicians and writers. It has given us challenging sport and peaceful contemplation.
