Sea of Words: an animated film exploring the history of Cardiff Docks

About: Sea of Worlds was commissioned by the Parliamentary Archives from artist Trevor Woolery and reflects outreach work undertaken in Cardiff by the Parliamentary Archives during its People and Parliament: Connecting with Communities programme. The artist worked with Grangetown Local History Society at both the Parliamentary Archives and Glamorgan Archives.

Inspired by reactions to the unique documentary material held by both repositories Trevor Woolery sought to portray the story of the development of Cardiff docks through the eyes of David Morse, a ship’s pilot who travelled to Westminster in 1866 in order to give evidence to a House of Lords private bill committee on the Bute Docks Bill.
