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.
