Guided Tours of Sunderland Maritime Heritage Centre

Come and pay us a visit!

Our Visitor Centre shows a brief history of boats and shipbuilding on the River Wear, both wood and iron ships, and a woodworking tool display. On display are artefacts from the wreck of HMS Venerable (the ship on which Jack Crawford nailed the colours to the mast of during the Battle of Camperdown). There are also exhibitions covering 20th century shipbuilding, working conditions and workers lives.

Pre-booked visits on Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings. Large groups on other days by prior arrangement.
