A lovely museum to visit. Lancaster Maritime Museum is small but full of fascinating history and stories about the city's connection to the sea. The displays are wel presented, and it's a peaceful place to spend an hour or two. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Lancaster.

Such a shame the museum is only open weekdays from 12:00 noon Monday & Friday (as well as weekends). The staff are so knowledgeable they certainly add to any visit here. Highly recommended and free entry to local residents.

A very informative museum housed in the splendour of the former Customs House and top floor of an adjacent warehouse. The information is well presented, and there is a lot to read (it took me two hours as I wanted to read everything!). At the height of the slave trade, Lancaster was the fourth most important port connected to it. It's interesting to see how the maritime history of Lancaster created so much of what you can see in the current city. There's more about crossing Morecambe Bay before the railway arrived, the local canal, the offshore gas field, fishing, cockles, shrimps, boat building, etc. A museum that's well worth a visit.

This is a lovely museum with some history of the fishing and ship building industries in the local area, as well as a collection of very old coins and artifacts. It's very well done and quite engaging, with a film that explains some local history. The star of the show for me was the series of black and white photographs of fishermen and people from the canals. I am assured that a proper exhibition is on its way.

A lovely flying visit before getting train home, we had to be quick as we entered an hour before closing, they were very accommodating though. Fabulous little museum with lots of things to touch and do for children. The boat, carriage and dressing up was especially a lovely touch. So much to look at another reason why I would love to go back and read up a little bit more. Lovely museum that sits on the river Lune. Thank you for your hospitality.
