Hull Maritime Museum

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.

We found it really interesting and our little boy loved looking at all the exhibits 😊

It's been a number of years since I last visited and enjoyed it just as much. Really good insite to the city's past Martine history. There is two floors of interesting exhibit.

Large collection of scrimshaw work, and whaling memorabilia from the days when Hull was one of the world's major wailing ports. There are some fantastic ships models, and the silver cod trophy which was awarded every year to the ship with the largest catch. 1 one of the most popular items on display amongst children is the polar bear which was brought back on a ship on a whaling expedition.

A quaint but one-of-the-kind museum set in UK's cultural city. An ode to the city's whaling past, this museum is one of the unexpected gems that I've come across during my travels. This museum is located centrally in Hull and hard to miss. It has two floors packed with myriad objects- from gunny sacks used for packing flour, accurate models of maritime vessels, paintings, Whaling harpoons, a blubber pot and more interesting things. It is well curated and makes for an interesting hour or two to learn about this city's vibrant past. Don't miss it if you are visiting Hull.
