Two centuries of crossings, stories and innovations
To mark the bicentenary of the legendary sea link between Dieppe and Newhaven, a major free exhibition retraces the highlights of this line with its major economic, tourist and cultural role.
Collectibles, previously unseen archives, passenger testimonials and ship models tell the epic story of a crossing that has marked generations.
From the first steam liners to modern car ferries, via tidal trains, advertising posters and technical feats, the exhibition invites visitors to relive this incredible human and technological adventure, from 1825 to the present day.
Stories of turbulent crossings, visionary projects and a wealth of iconography make this an immersive and exciting visit.
