About the Maritime Museum

Set in the historic harbour of St Helier, the Maritime Museum is all about seafaring, navigation and the elements, told through the stories of Jersey people.Through interactive exhibits you can feel the force of a gale, understand the tides and learn how to design and float a ship. Immerse yourself in songs and stories of the sea, and find out about the Island's myths and legends.  The Maritime Museum brings alive Jersey's maritime past.

Take a look at the restoration work being carried out on one of our historic boats where every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday you can watch the ancient and declining art of boat-building as the team restore classic boats.

Take a closer look at some of the displays

HMS Havick was a quarterdeck sloop, Dutch built in 1784. After its capture and commission by the Royal Navy, it served in the English Channel until it was wrecked in St Aubin’s Bay by a terrible storm in November 1800. The items on display give an insight into the lives of ordinary seamen in Nelson’s Navy, as well as relating the trauma of the fateful shipwreck.

The Art of the Model Maker, featuring models of HMS Jersey, the classic fishing boat Fiona, and many more.

The Occupation Tapestry Gallery

Visit the award winning Occupation Tapestry, also located at the Maritime Museum, made by the people of Jersey to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Island’s liberation. The twelve panels of this richly coloured tapestry tell the story of life in Jersey during the Second World War. This community work of art depicts Islanders' personal memories of the war and their experience of living under German occupation.
