Britain's maritime heritage is brought to life, with the sights and sounds of a 19th-century quayside.

This majestic ship was built in Bombay in 1817, and saw service in Haiti, Cuba, Newfoundland and Labrador. You can also visit the Quayside shops, the admiral's house, and the children's Maritime Adventure Centre. Other features include regular live demonstrations of musket and cannon firing.

About the area
County Durham reaches halfway across England, from the North Pennines in the west, to the sea in the east. Much of it is very sparsely inhabited, and is naturally beautiful; a mix of rolling hills, monumental valleys, lush farmland and unforgiving moors.
