Join the British Commission for Maritime History for the Annual Proctor Memorial Lecture 2026, presented by Professor Sarah Palmer, Emeritus Professor of Maritime History.

This year, attendees have the pleasure of hearing from Professor Sarah Palmer on ‘Overawed and Controlled’? London’s Maritime Workforce in the 19th Century.

The Proctor lecture forms part of the Kings' Seminars series of lectures, but is usually held at Lloyd’s Register as a very special event within our calendar. After the lecture we welcome all attendees to join us for conversation, wine and nibbles!

The Annual Proctor Memorial Lecture celebrates the great contribution of David Proctor to maritime history both in Britain and internationally. Fittingly, the distinguished scholars invited to present the lecture alternate between UK and international lecturers.

Join us in the historic Lloyd's Register Building, and experience the rich history the building has to offer.

Please note, there is a small charge to join this in person event, this is to help the BCMH toward supporting lecture and seminar series.

  • General Admission (in person): £10
