Merseyside Maritime Museum Museums

The Merseyside Maritime Museum tells the history of one of the world's greatest ports and the people who used it. For many it was a gateway to a new life in other countries. For others, its importance to the slave trade had less happy consequences. From slavers to luxury liners, submarine hunters to passenger ferries, discover Liverpool's central role in centuries at sea.

Open daily 10am-5pm (Edmund Gardner 11am-4pm summer only).

Ships & quaysides are closed during the winter. Please check dates with the information desk on telephone 0151 478 4499, international telephone +44 151 478 4499.
