The Mersey Partnership Tourism Awards: Winner - Best Visitor Attraction 2003
Telling the story of Liverpool's seafaring heritage and the merchant navy.
Merseyside Maritime Museum is in a former bonded warehouse, part of the historic Albert Dock on the banks of the River Mersey. The museum, opened in 1980, tells the story of one of the world's greatest ports and the people who used it.
The museum's collections reflect the international importance of Liverpool as a gateway to the world, including the city's role in the transatlantic slave trade and emigration.
The Maritime Archive and Library contains one of the finest collections of merchant shipping records in the UK.
Directions: The Maritime Museum is located at the Albert Dock on Liverpool's famous waterfront, adjacent to the Pier Head. A mere stroll from the city centre and all its attractions. Within easy reach of 1.5 million people, it has extensive rail, bus and road links (including a comprehensive motorway network), as well as convenient air and boat connections via Liverpool and Manchester Airports, the Mersey Ferry and Seacat.
