    This is an amazing inside look into Hulls shipping history. Take a look when you are in the city centre and learn something for free in this great old building.  more »

    Lots of interesting information throughout, especially the history of whaling. The building is full of artefacts. A particularly poignant cabinet holds the memorial book of lives lost at sea. There is a small area where children can dress up. Overall a very well run museum

    Remarkably good museum, packed with model ships and general maritime kit. A really interesting place. I was amazed at how good this is, having just come over from the appalling art gallery over the road. Very impressed.

    one of the places you must visit while you are in Hull. It is located just within the city centre. and situated in a very nice building. Free entry and it’s pack of information about the maritime history. Definitely recommended for everyone.
  • By Robin Corney
    Visited with 4&8 year old and whilst there is a lot here, not much was interactive and they weren’t that interested.  If you’re into maritime history it’s worth a visit. If not, it’s worth a quick look round as it’s in the centre of the city anyway.
