The
Submarine Heritage Centre is a Charitable
Trust that has been established to create a Centre
that will celebrate the design, build and operation
of Barrow-in-Furness built Submarines since
1886. It will serve both as an absorbing educational
venue and a worthwhile visitor attraction for
present and future generations.
The Centre
will provide a series of displays showing the
evolution of submarine building
HMS
Onyx on arrival in Barrow Docks
and operations at Barrow.
Onyx will form the main attraction,
enabling visitors to experience first-hand
what life was like for the crew onboard
this classic British submarine.
Generations of the population
of Barrow and district have dedicated their
working lives to submarine building. The
Submarine Heritage Centre aims
to recognise and celebrate this achievement
and, in so doing, enhance the local economy
for future generations at Barrow.
