Royal Navy Museum Hartlepool

The Royal Navy Museum Hartlepool is the perfect place for a family adventure as you journey to an authentic 18th century seaport and the spectacular HMS Trincomalee.

Travel back in time and take in the 18th century seaport and its beautiful waterside setting. See how tradesmen like tailors, printers, and instrument makers earned a wage, and how people spent their leisure time playing traditional games.

Experience the explosive firepower of our guns with exciting live demonstrations and re-enactments all year round. The historic quayside is brought to life as you meet press-ganged sailors from the Georgian Navy who lived on-board HMS Trincomalee.
