Its position among the ferry piers connects maritime history with the working water outside. Chinese maritime history and marine sustainability provide two complementary ways to read Hong Kong’s relationship with the sea. The museum moved from Murray House in Stanley to Central in 2013, bringing that wider story directly to the waterfront where many visitors encounter the city.
