National Maritime Museum (NMM)

The National Maritime Museum was established by Act of Parliament in 1934 and opened in 1937. Its buildings are part of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site and include the 17th-century Queen's House and the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. It is the world's largest maritime museum, with over two million items relating mainly to British and European seafaring, navigation, astronomy and time measurement from the late 16th-century onward. Modern maritime issues and 'the future of the sea' are a more recent extension of the Museum's interests. The Museum is a centre for research across many fields.

Included in the Moving Here catalogue are photographs of passenger and cargo vessels.
