Welcome to Memories of the Sea

The Memories of the Sea project captures the recollections of 22 Isle of Wight residents who have been involved with the sea over the decades. It combines portrait photography by Julian Winslow and the capture of oral histories led by Lisa Kerley (thanks to CCM). Please explore, it’s fascinating.
