Hull Maritime Museum

Dive straight into Hull’s rich seafaring past! The city’s history is tied to the sea and this fascinating museum does a brilliant job of telling that story.

It’s full of detailed exhibitions on whaling, fishing, and the port’s massive role in global trade. From beautifully preserved model ships to real-life fishing trawler artefacts, you’ll get a detailed look at the lives of those who worked the ocean.

Here’s a fantastic bonus – this is one of Hull’s many fantastic free museums, making it a perfect, budget-friendly stop on your city break. It’s located in a stunning Victorian building right in the city centre, so it’s incredibly easy to find and explore from your nearby Travelodge.
