Merseyside Maritime Museum
A free maritime museum telling the story of Liverpool as the second largest port of the British Empire, covering its seafaring history, migration and the Titanic.
The Merseyside Maritime Museum is located at Albert Dock and is free to enter. It presents centuries of Liverpool's port history, including the stories of millions of European migrants who passed through on their way to the Americas, the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II, ship models and navigation instruments. It also features special displays on the Titanic and the Lusitania, which have strong ties to Liverpool. The upper floors connect to the International Slavery Museum, and the ground floor has an exhibit on smuggling by customs and excise officers. It is a good place to spend a half day with other attractions on the docks, and the museum has a café.
