The Museum of Fisheries and Shipping 
situated on the Ilessle Road, was opened to the public on March 30th, 1912. 
^ As its name implies, it is especially devoted to objects illustrative of the 
^growth of the important Hull Fishing and Shipping Industries. The 
exhibits include various types of harpoons, models and paintings of whaling 
ships, Esquimaux relics, and skeletons of various species of Cetacea. The 
collection of models of ships is especially complete, and includes the various 
types of fishing craft from the old sailing smack to the most recent type of 
trawler, models of the early type of Humber paddle boats and steamers built 
in Hull, etc. At the close of the Japan-British Exhibition, the Japanese 
Government presented to the Museum a series of large scenic models illus- 
trating different modes of fishing in Japan. The exhibits of natural history 
specimens are varied and numerous. An extensive series of fishes preserved 
in spirits has been presented by the British Museum.
