Set in the historic harbour area of St.Helier, the Maritime Museum explores the sea and our relationship with it. It reflects on the experience of islanders and Jersey's Maritime heritage, both contemporary and historic. Explore the natural elements including the tides, wind, waves and coastline and discover the basic principles of boat design and propulsion. Living in an island means that people have spent the last 8,000 years building on their relationship with the sea. At the Maritime Museum you’ll see, hear and even smell human story of Jersey's maritime heritage. Before you leave, you will also have a chance to see restoration work being carried out on one of our historic boats in the boat workshop - you may even have some questions for the boat builder. Also located at the Maritime Museum is the Occupation Tapestry, made by the people of Jersey to commemorate the Liberation of Jersey from German Occupation during the Second World War.
