The Liverpool Maritime Museum is a famous museum located at Liverpool’s Albert Dock.  It was established in 1980 in an old warehouse in the Albert Dock and features a collection of shipping records in the maritime archive and library.

From time to time there are various lectures on Liverpool's seafaring heritage at the Maritime Museum that visitors can enjoy on a regular basis.

In addition to this visitors can learn the fabulous history from slavers to luxury liners and discover Liverpool's central role in centuries at sea.

Visitors can enter the Maritime Museum free of charge and learn the fantastic story of one of the greatest port’s in the world and the people who used it.  It highlights such events as Liverpool’s role in the transatlantic slave trade and emigration.

Furthermore, the Maritime Museum’s archive and library contains an excellent collection of merchant shipping records and visitors can explore the history of the transatlantic slavery and find out about the role of merchant ships in World War Two.

There are recent development plans to transform certain parts of the Maritime Museum in the near future expanding the Transatlantic Slavery gallery to more than double it’s size!  For more information on current exhibitions and development plans visit the official Maritime Museum website.
