Travel through time with a visit to Lancaster’s Maritime Museum.
Step aboard a full-size Lancaster Packet Boat and be transported to the bustle of the Lancaster Canal during its glory days, with the clatter of horses and merchants shouting from the towpath. Learn about a fisherman’s life shrimping along the coast, experience the perils of crossing the shifting sands of Morecambe Bay and the dangers of living on a gas platform in the rough waters of the North Sea.
Imagine fashionable Morecambe in the 1950s for high days and holidays at the spectacular Super Swim Stadium. Remember to pack your woollen swimsuit. In the warehouse you’ll witness workers busy shifting barrels offloaded from the ships. But don’t get too close, it doesn’t look like they have had a wash in a while.
In the Georgian Customs House experience the touch and smell of exotic goods imported to Lancaster’s quay. Learn the shadowy story of how these goods were produced and the extent of Lancaster’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade.
Please see website for further pricing information.
