Step into Liverpool's remarkable tidal history at Tide & Time
Don’t miss a rare chance to explore Tide & Time at the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool.
Tide & Time is home to two extraordinary analogue computers: the Doodson-Légé and Roberts-Légé tide-predicting machines. These pioneering devices were used to calculate tide tables for ports around the world.
Join us for a special Heritage Open Days event and discover more about these fascinating machines and the impact tidal prediction had on Liverpool's growth as a major port city. Discover connections between this work and research taking place at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) today.
This exhibition is not currently open for regular visits, making this a unique opportunity to explore one of Liverpool's hidden scientific treasures. The event is free to attend, but places are limited, and advance booking is essential.
