Set sail and drop anchor for a fun day out at Merseyside Maritime Museum. Come and explore our large and varied collections that reflect the seafaring importance of Liverpool as a gateway to the world. Based in the Albert Dock, this shipshape museum contains four floors of fascinating galleries that explore the city´s maritime legacy.

Displays look at Liverpool´s important role during the Second World War, life at sea with the merchant navy and the Titanic, Lusitania and the Forgotten Empress gallery. Opening in May 2008, the new Seized: Revenue and Customs Uncovered gallery will be the national museum of HM Revenue & Customs. The only one in Britain, it will draw on contraband seizures and other archive material from all over the country.
