Merseyside Maritime Museum

Merseyside Maritime Museum

The Merseyside Maritime Museum is located in Liverpool, England, and is part of the National Museums Liverpool. Opened in 1980 and expanded in 1986, it is a museum dedicated to the maritime history of Merseyside, particularly Liverpool, and the collection of maritime heritage.

The Merseyside Maritime Museum boasts a diverse collection of nautical items, with numerous exhibits telling the story of maritime history and reflecting Liverpool’s significant international role as a gateway to the world. The museum's collections are closely tied to the port city of Liverpool’s maritime archaeology, social, and trade history. It features ship models, maritime paintings, colorful posters, photographs, and vessels of all sizes that were once used at sea. Visitors can also learn about the stories of millions of emigrants who departed from Liverpool for the “New World” in search of a better life. Additionally, the museum sheds light on the tragic histories of three of the world’s most famous ships—the Titanic, the Lusitania, and the Empress of Ireland—all of which have strong connections to Liverpool.
