Last week the
Maritime Archives & Library had a visit from staff from a number of maritime museums in Catalonia. The
Barcelona Maritime Museum, which, it pains me to say, is in an historic building even more impressive than ours, is thinking of setting up an archive facility with public access and so came to look at our stores and public searchroom. Needless to say they arrived on a classic Albert Dock day of driving rain and grey skies, but we wouldn't want the British obsession with the weather to be undermined with a nice sunny day.
