❓️ Mystery Box Content Revealed ❗️
In January 2026, the main and mizzen masts of the Tall Ship were removed as part of their ongoing conservation work. When the main mast was lifted, it revealed a mystery box that had been sealed away for nearly 30 years! 🀐
Here our Museum Manager Lauren Henning reveals what was inside!

On 1st May 2026 the main and mizzen masts were returned to the ship, and with it this box, and a new version for 2026 were placed inside for the next generation to find. βš“οΈ
