Dock Museum, Maritime museum in Barrow-in-Furness, England.
The Dock Museum occupies a converted 19th-century graving dock, featuring exhibits about shipbuilding, naval construction, and the industrial development of the Furness region.
Founded in 1907, the museum preserves the legacy of Barrow's transformation from a small farming village into a major center for submarine and warship construction.
The collections include Viking treasures, Victorian artifacts, and World War II memorabilia that document the social evolution of the local community through different periods.
