Description:
Set in the historic harbour area of St.Helier, the Maritime Museum takes as its theme, the sea and our relationship with it. It reflects the experience of islanders and Jersey's Maritime heritage, both contemporary and historic. Each of the three areas has a different emphasis - the elements, the boats and the people.

The elements are the natural phenomena - the tides, the wind, the waves and the coastline.

Boats provide the means for people to travel on the sea. This is where you can discover the basic principles of boat design and propulsion.

Living on an island means that people have spent the last 8,000 years building on their relationship with the sea. Here we have the human story of Jersey's maritime heritage for you to see, hear, touch and even smell.

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.
