From shipyards to distant shores, from coalfields to the quiet corners of everyday life, every object in our collection tells a story of Maryport.

The museum’s collection brings these stories to life through shipbuilders’ journals, White Star Line artefacts, miners’ lamps, tools, and artworks – objects that connect everyday lives with extraordinary moments. Each one offers a glimpse into how people lived, worked and shaped the town we know today.

Explore these stories in the museum and see how Maryport’s people continue to reimagine the town’s future.
