"The Merseyside Maritime Museum is located on the historical Albert Dock and is the best place to go to learn more about Liverpool’s industrial history. The museum celebrates Liverpool’s international importance, acting as a gateway to the world and connecting Britain to many other nations and cultures. At the museum, you can learn about Liverpool’s role in emigration – with many people travelling to America from Liverpool throughout America’s history – as well as the famous ship Titanic, which had strong links to its registered city of Liverpool."

"This museum is located in the beautiful Albert Docks, the docks are worth a visit to alone for the view, the lovely shops, and incredible boats to look at. Dive deep into the free museum where you can learn about the city’s important maritime links through model ships, galleries and discover what life is like at sea. There are fun family trails to follow."
