Dive into Maritime History at the Merseyside Maritime Museum
Dive into Maritime History at the Merseyside Maritime Museum
Liverpool’s story is inseparable from the sea, and the best place to uncover that story is at the Merseyside Maritime Museum, located in the heart of the Royal Albert Dock. Just a short walk from the city centre, this fascinating museum brings Liverpool’s seafaring heritage to life with immersive exhibitions and powerful storytelling.
Spread across several floors, the museum covers everything from the city’s role in global trade and transatlantic travel to its involvement in the Titanic tragedy and wartime naval efforts. The Titanic and Liverpool exhibition is a particular highlight, detailing the city's emotional connection to the ill-fated ship through rare artefacts and personal accounts.
Another unmissable section is the International Slavery Museum, which occupies part of the same building. It offers an honest, moving look at Liverpool’s historical role in the transatlantic slave trade — an essential visit for anyone wanting to understand the full depth of the city’s past.
Families will appreciate the museum’s interactive exhibits and seasonal activities, while history buffs could easily spend hours exploring the artefacts, models, and restored ship components.
