Complete Details

To commemorate the 110th anniversary of the Battle of Jutland, the Centre for Port and Maritime History (CPMH) at Liverpool John Moores University is proud to host its fourth major conference under the theme "War at Sea." This scholarly gathering brings together historians, military experts, and maritime enthusiasts to reflect on the naval conflicts that shaped the modern world. Liverpool, a city with an indomitable maritime soul, serves as the perfect backdrop for this exploration of naval strategy, technology, and the human cost of conflict.

The conference will feature a diverse array of keynote speakers who are leaders in the field of maritime history. Presentations will range from technical analyses of 20th-century dreadnoughts to poignant social histories of the sailors and dockworkers who supported the war effort. A primary focus of the 2026 event will be the legacy of the Battle of Jutland—the largest naval battle of the First World War. Scholars will debate its strategic outcomes and its lasting impact on naval doctrine. However, the scope extends beyond the World Wars, looking at the evolution of maritime warfare into the contemporary era.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to view rare archival materials from LJMU’s Special Collections, including maps, letters, and photographs that are rarely seen by the public. The event encourages interdisciplinary dialogue, merging maritime archaeology with political science and cultural studies. For anyone interested in how the oceans have been a theater for global power shifts, this conference offers unparalleled depth. The day will conclude with a panel discussion on the future of maritime security, ensuring that the lessons of the past are applied to the challenges of tomorrow.

Key Event Highlights

Commemoration of the Battle of Jutland’s 110th anniversary. Keynote speeches from world-renowned naval historians. Access to LJMU maritime archival exhibitions. Networking reception for researchers and PhD students. Interdisciplinary panels on naval technology and social history.
