To mark Britain hosting the Olympic Games, Racing for Gold is a display of three racing craft, including two from the collections and one on loan from a local club. The boats reflect the dynamic sailing and rowing scene in North West England.
The display is supported by the UK Border Agency National Museum based at Merseyside Maritime Museum. The role of the Agency in the 2012 Olympics will be explored in an accompanying display 'A Sporting Celebration', which will open in Seized! The Border and Customs Uncovered in the museum’s basement from 2 June 2012.
