The Port of Hull is first recorded in 1193 but its location on the river Hull has not been identified. By the 13th century, the ‘old harbour’, or haven, extended from the confluence of the River Hull and the Humber Estuary upstream as far as North Bridge. In mid-13th Century, the Port of Hull was a member of the Hanseatic League, commemorated in the 21st century through 'International Hanse Day'. By the 18th century it was becoming increasingly clear that the haven was unfit for the growing amount of trade, hence the building of inland docks linked to the river and the Humber Estuary.

The Port of Hull was nationalised and, on 1 January 1948, the North Eastern Railway's holdings passed to the British Transport Commission. It was found to be unwieldy and the docks element was replaced by the British Transport Docks Board (BTDB) on 1 January 1964. In 1983 it was renamed Associated British Ports (ABP) and allowed to become a public limited company. The company was taken over by a consortium of companies in 2006 and the company was de-listed from the London Stock Exchange.

Until the opening of The Dock in 1778, all trade by ship was conducted on the quays, wharfs or staithes on the River Hull, primarily between the Humber Estuary and the former North Bridge. Today, the ‘old harbour’ is no longer used except for intermittent moorings for lighter craft. It has been allowed to silt up, and the remaining warehouses largely converted for dwellings.

Hull Trinity House, established in 1369, is a seafaring organisation consisting of a charity for seafarers, a school, and a guild of mariners. The guild originated as a religious guild providing support and almshouses for the needy and established a school for mariners in 1787. By the 18th century it had responsibilities including management of the harbour at Hull, and buoys and pilotage in the Humber Estuary. After the loss of many of its responsibilities as a result of the Humber Conservancy Act 1852, the guild continued its work as a charity, and the provision of education, which continues to the present day: Link

Trinity House and adjoining offices and houses cover the site of the White Friars (Carmelites), dissolved in 1539, and given to the institution by Thomas Ferres in 1621.

In 1785 a marine school was founded on the property of the Trinity House. A new building was constructed on the Trinity House site, adjacent to the chapel and the school opened in 1787. Students were taught reading, writing, accountancy, religion, and navigation for three years after which they were apprenticed. The school moved to a new building in Prince’s Dock Street in 1842. By the second half of the 20th century the school (Trinity House Navigation School) had become an independent secondary technical school. The school gained specialist status in 2008 and became Hull Trinity House Academy in 2012. In 2013 the school moved to a new site on George Street, using a refurbished former university building. The site of the old school was redeveloped as a car park/events area called Zebedee's Yard in 2014. The academy moved to the former Endeavour Academy site on Beverley Road in 2023.

The Gatehouse to Trinity House Navigation School was built in the Classical Revival style, 1842. Grade II Listed Building Link
