Plinth and Maritime Museum, Hull

The plinth on Queen's Dock Avenue includes an anchor and propeller and a stone to commemorate the 36,000 Merchant Navy personnel lost during the two world wars as they struggled to keep the country's commercial lifelines open. The Maritime Museum seen here occupies the Dock Offices building, where it moved in 1974. It is the former headquarters of the Hull Dock Company, which operated all docks in Hull until 1893. Built in 1872, it is a Grade II* listed building.
