Lancaster Maritime Museum

This fascinating museum museum delves into Lancaster’s Georgian maritime heritage and the history of Morcambe Bay.

Your pupils will discover over 1000 years of local history, from Viking settlers to Lancaster’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade to Morcambe’s years as a popular seaside holiday resort. They can also learn about the Lancaster canal, the important fishing traditions of Morecambe Bay and the perils of crossing the sands.
