The NMM is proud to announce that for the first time it has made available clips from its film archive. A selection of tantalising tit-bits have been uploaded on to Flickr, allowing you the chance to view footage celebrating maritime history from throughout the 20th century.

We would like to encourage you to tag and comment on these clips just as you have been doing with out historic photographs. Every little bit of information you add helps us to understand and interpret our collections further.

I hope you enjoy watching these clips.
