Public Speaking & Lecturing

Engaging Talks | Historical Keynotes | Media Commentary
Nick Hewitt

I regularly speak at conferences, museums, and heritage events, offering reflective and thought-provoking talks on naval history, public engagement, and overlooked war stories.

My talks are known for combining academic rigour with warmth, humour, and accessible
storytelling.

Popular topics include:

The hidden role of sailors in the world wars
D-Day by sea: personal stories from Normandy
Curating conflict: how we tell war stories in museums

I am also available for panel discussions, media commentary, and training sessions tailored specifically for heritage professionals.

If you’re interested in exploring the naval history of Orkney firsthand, I offer expert-led personal tours around key naval sites across the islands. Whether it’s a guided walk through historic wartime locations or speaking on a historical cruise, I’m happy to share my knowledge and passion for this remarkable maritime heritage.
