| Jutland Exhibit, Historic Dockyard |
The battle involved 250 ships and 100,000 men. The audio-video presentations, storyboards, and artefacts present the historical context, timeline, and personal stories to make the events come alive.
The Battle began in the afternoon of 31 May, 2016 off the coast of Denmark's North Sea.
Following the battle, both the Germans and the British claimed victory; however, the larger British fleet remianed in control of the High Seas.
As of this writing in 2017, the exposition is scheduled for a limited time- until 2019.
Allow about 1-2 hours to walk through the presentation.
The odd-shaped presentation screens and position of the speakers can interfere with a straightforward telling of the story. To get more out of the presentation, it might be helpful to read a summary of the battle.
I am glad I saw the presentation but it is not the best exhibit at the Historic Dockyard.
