The Lancaster Maritime Museum stands on St. George's Quay, at the centre of the historic port of Lancaster. The museum is housed in the former Custom House of 1764, designed by Richard Gillow, plus a part of the adjacent warehouse building. Visitors can explore the history of the city's port, the local fishing industry, and life in the areas between land and sea. Experience the journey across the sands of Morecambe Bay by stagecoach, or what it's like to sit on a boat on the Lancaster Canal. Listen to stories of life in a fishing family and smell the scents of 18th century trade. The museum also addresses the city's involvement in transatlantic slave trade and the economic benefits that many local merchant families derived from it.
