Exhibition design company Sarner has installed a new attraction aboard London's HMS Belfast, enabling visitors to relive the battle of the North Cape in WW2.
In groups of 15-20, visitors can step into the 'Gun Turret Experience : A Sailor's Story, 1943', which follows the story of a young sailor aboard Belfast on Boxing Day 1943.
Using moving platforms, smell and smoke machines, audio and sound effects, moving guns and projection systems, the space - housed inside one of the ship's original triple gun turrets - has been designed to recreate the sensations of war at sea.
Sarner's head of technical installations, Shane Winterbourne said: "We’ve used advanced technology to bring to life the stories of the sailors who served on board nearly 70 years ago and help people understand - both physically and emotionally - the reality of battle through this new experience."
