How your membership supports us…
In return for the benefits your membership gives you, your donation helps us with restoration, conservation and education programmes so that we can preserve the maritime heritage for future generations.
As an independent museum we receive no revenue funding from the government and rely on people like you to enable us to continue our charitable work.
We want everyone to enjoy their visit; our collections to inspire and challenge with new and exciting displays, and for the Museum to continue evolving as a world class visitor destination.
With your help we will continue to develop, excite and educate. We would like you to become part of our future and join us on this journey.
