The National Maritime Museum joined The Commons on Flickr and you're invited to help us interpret our historic photographs collection. Tag our photographs with the words that you think describe them best. And if you know the names of the people depicted, or precise locations, or any other information, please do share it. We'll be reviewing your contributions to see what you uncover.

We also host two public groups: Sailor Chic and Beside the Seaside. Please join and share your photographs of maritime Britain as it is now.
