Hiya again!

I wanted you to see the beautiful Maritime Museum that sits across from the statue of Queen Victoria in the City Centre. 

That word - maritime - has to do with the sea and the men who made their living catching fish to bring back to sell.

The fishermen would leave out from the port at Hull and sail way out into the North Sea to catch the fish.  It was very dangerous work and sometimes there would be terrible storms at sea. 

You had to be a very brave man to be a fisherman in those days.

The museum is the place where the stories of these men are kept, along with pictures of those days long ago.
