Hull Maritime
Welcome to Yorkshire’s maritime city. Hull has more than 800 years of seafaring history which tells the story of the city’s involvement in some of UK’s most notable historical episodes.
Hull has a rich maritime history of trade, through Hanseatic links, fishing and imports. This project is bringing this history to life with new and refurbished visitor attractions and archives. Hull is poised to become a part of the nation’s tourism and heritage landscape.
Over the next three years, Hull Maritime will deliver the refurbishment and preservation of four historic maritime sites and two historic ships. Once completed, we will invite visitors to chart a course through Hull’s history, exploring the city’s connections and contributions to the UK and the world.
What is to come?
The opening of the Hull Maritime projects will take place in 2024/25 in a staged unveiling of these amazing experiences.
First to reopen will be the Spurn Lightship, then later in 2024, the North End Shipyard, a new visitor centre and dry dock with the new home of the last sidewinding trawler, the Arctic Corsair will be berthed and visitors will be invited to explore, outside, inside and beneath this historic ship.
