Woodstock, NY, April 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Image Works stock photography agency (http://www.theimageworks.com) has announced the addition of the imagery of the National Maritime Museum, London to their stock photography archive. The National Maritime Museum is made up of three individual museums: the Maritime Galleries, the Royal Observatory and the Queen's House. Together these constitute one museum, the National Maritime Museum, working to illustrate the importance of the sea, ships, time and the stars and their relationship with people.

The National Maritime Museum collection brings the history of Britain at sea to The Image Works stock photography agency. The Museum has the most important holdings in the world on the history of Britain at sea, including maritime art (both British and 17th-century Dutch), cartography, photography, manuscripts including official public records, ship models and plans, scientific and navigational instruments, maritime artifacts, time-keeping and astronomy (based at the Observatory), and in many other categories. The British portraits collection is only exceeded in size by the National Portrait Gallery and its holdings related to Nelson and Cook, among many other individuals, are unrivalled.
