The Hull Maritime Museum is a museum in Kingston upon Hull, England, that explores the seafaring heritage of the city and its environs. The museum's stated mission is ''"To preserve and make available the maritime history of Hull and east Yorkshire through artefacts and documents"''. ==History and site== The museum, originally known as the ''Museum of Fisheries and Shipping'', opened in 1912 in Pickering Park. It moved to its current location, the Dock Offices building, in 1974. The Dock Offices building is so-named as it is the former headquarters of the Hull Dock Company, which operated all docks in Hull until 1893.〔 Built in 1872, it is a Grade II * listed building〔 〕〔 〕 and a striking example of Victorian architecture.〔 The building stands in Queen Victoria Square, opposite the Queen's Gardens, in Hull's city centre. Hull City Council currently operates and maintains the museum.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hull Maritime Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
