Plans for a major project to place Hull’s 800 years of maritime history at the heart of the city’s regeneration will go on display.
The ideas for the Hull: Yorkshire Maritime City project will be on show at Trinity Market from Thursday 25 April – with members of the public encouraged to offer views to help shape the project.
It includes five key maritime treasures in the city centre – the Arctic Corsair, North End Shipyard, Spurn Lightship, Dock Office Chambers and the striking Hull Maritime Museum.
The project has been designed to protect and celebrate Hull’s international story as a maritime city.
The exhibition will showcase never-seen-before drawings from artists and architects, alongside computer generated visuals showings how the plans will transform the city’s maritime treasures.

Mark Jones MBE, Hull City Council’s director of regeneration, said: “We are excited to be sharing these transformative plans that reconnect our maritime venues and sites that all have a deep history that is rooted in Hull.
“These proposals have been two years in making and been developed with feedback, consultations from the public and specialists from the industry, in order to achieve the very best to create a high-quality visitor experience for its residents and visitors.
“Now, we want to share these plans to gain further input from the public to assist with developing them further. This investment will continue to drive this thriving maritime city forward.
“We hope everyone will be excited by the plans and get behind this exciting programme of continued investment.”
