Arctic Convoys, 1941-45 (UK)

The National Maritime Museum marks the 70th anniversary of the first Allied Arctic convoys to Russia with a free exhibition telling the story of this gruelling campaign, said to have been described by Winston Churchill as 'the worst journey in the world.' Arctic Convoys 1941–1945 includes contemporary photographs, paintings by war artists and clothing worn by sailors. Some of the striking images featured in the exhibition have never been on display before
