The best way to experience such a unique vessel is by stepping on board and exploring!
Massey Shaw is moored in West India Dock and is easily reachable via public transport or by car.
Full instructions on how to get here can be found on our contact page.
Accessibility
Due to the age and location of the vessel, we’re unable to offer wheelchair accessibility on board and we advise ALL visitors to read our accessibility considerations before booking to ensure we can meet your requirements. We will do all we can to ensure visitors can enjoy Massey Shaw.
