Hull Maritime Museum (Yorkshire – England) has welcomed more than 50,000 visitors achieving a quarter of its annual visitor target within its first month of reopening following a landmark £20.4 million transformation.
The museum reopened on Saturday 8 August after one of the most significant heritage investments in the city’s history, revealing 28 new galleries, restored historic spaces and immersive exhibitions celebrating Hull’s rich maritime story.
The Arctic Corsair is the crown jewell Hull’s: a nationally significant vessel representing the end of a once major industry. Built in Beverley in 1960 for the Boyd Line, the Arctic Corsair had a career that included a world-record catch and conflict and collision in the Cod Wars.
