The Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust has set up an all-year-round visitor attraction in the unique 1830 Georgian Royal Dockyard Chapel in Pembroke Dock. It presents Pembroke Dock's historically unique stories and themes to a national and international audience namely:
The world's largest operational Flying Boat Station that in WW2 played a key role in the Battle of the Atlantic, the 'D' Day Normandy landings and other sea war theatres
Wales' only Royal Dockyard: at its zenith comparable to Chatham and Devonport and building both warships and Royal Yachts
One of the UK's major Garrison Towns, created during the Napoleonic Wars and serving the nation until the 1960s
These themes are underpinned by remarkable national and international military and social historical connections spanning two centuries of history of a once very prosperous industrial town.
Timeline to date
2006: Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust (PDST) set up to establish a heritage centre focusing on the story of Pembroke Dock and the Short Sunderland Flying Boat T9044, which sank in the Haven in 1940 and was subsequently re-discovered many years later
2009: PDST opened the Flying Boat Centre/Workshop and now over 80 volunteers are involved in conserving components including two engines recovered from T9044. The Centre has since welcomed over 23,000 visitors
2012: Administration, Archive, display area and café set up in the Fleet Surgeon's House as the 'Fleets to Flying Boats' Centre
2014: Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre opened by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh
