This September, The Cultureship presents 5 major Fine Art projects for the Thames, with artists Richard Wilson and Zatorski + Zatorski, Doug Fishbone, Hew Locke, Nikolaj Larsen and Layla Curtis.

Covering 40 sea miles, “1513: A Ships’ Opera” is an astonishing water-bourne performance for the river Thames. An armada of extraordinary historic vessels from the age of sail, steam and diesel will perform in a live, moving, operatic concerto of ships’ steam whistles, bells, horns, hooters, sirens and cannon as the the centrepiece of the 2013 Thames Festival. Look to the Thames on the 14th September…

Other projects run from 5th – 15th September.
