The large clock on Hull’s Maritime Museum’s south-facing tower and its dialworks have been thoroughly cleaned, as well as the new automatic winding system measured.
Work to conserve a collection of historic maritime paintings from the Hull Maritime Museum is now complete.
Following a survey of 400 paintings, the 13 selected works of art that depict a variety of maritime themes with important links to the city’s history were sent to the conservation studio of Lincoln University for essential conservation treatment.
