- Hands On with maritime treasures
Every Thursday, 1 - 3pm at Streetlife Museum and Hull and East Riding Museum.
Hull Maritime volunteers are delivering object handling sessions for you to get hands on with our maritime history.
Since the 12th century when Monks from Meaux Abbey built a quay to trade their wool from, the River Hull has played an integral part in Hull’s maritime story. Using items from our handling collections we look at the goods traded, life and wildlife on the river and how the docks were expanded from the River Hull over the last 800 years. - Ravenser Odd now on display at Grimsby Minster
