About
Two centuries of crossings, stories and innovations.
A major French exhibition marking 200 years of the historic sea link between Newhaven and Dieppe.
The free exhibition showcases unseen archives, collectibles, passenger stories and vintage posters - telling the tale of a crossing central to Newhaven life for generations.
From early steam liners to modern ferries, visitors can explore two centuries of 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 exhibition, providing an opportunity to rediscover the importance of this route, which today remains a vital link for trade, tourism and friendship across the Channel.
The exhibition runs alongside an important sister exhibition at Newhaven Museum, drawing on a rich well of personal stories, local history and imagery, while a programme of cultural events, includes a history talk, exhibition of reimagined architecture and an immersive multi-sensory tour of Dieppe.
The exhibition is presented by Seine-Maritime County Council and Transmanche Ferries, and brought to Newhaven by Lewes District Council and Towner as part of the BN9 Programme.
