Maritime Heritage East, led from Time and Tide, is a project to raise the profile of the rich maritime collections in the East of England, and to develop local, regional and national partnerships.
Over 30 other museums and heritage attractions from the coastal counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex are currently on board.
A forthcoming website and a programme of exhibitions aim to generate interest in our regional maritime collections and to increase access to them.

Description
Set in one of the UK's best preserved Victorian herring curing works, Time and Tide takes an exciting journey into the past where you can find out about Great Yarmouth's rich maritime and fishing heritage. You can wander through a typical 'Row' in 1913, experience the heady atmosphere of a 1950's quayside and enjoy hands-on-displays, film shows, free audio guides and children's activities which bring the great story of Great Yarmouth vividly to life.
