A new shipping museum at St Andrew Quey please

Hull once was home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK based of St Andrews Quey. Which is no more. Today all that remains is a selection of derlict old buildings and a silted up section of dock a shame.
It could be put to fitting us.
Yes this suggestion will cost a lot of money but done right could be a true gem.
Ok Hull has 2 museum ship in 2 place how about dredge st Andrews do up Lords line building and make a large maritime museum unlike and like at Hartlepool. It could provide a home To Hms Lusty on the river (And to those who say it will be a white elephant I say this they said it about Hms Belfast I bet) a mix of boats fishing civil and navy in dock a flying boat would be nice the lords line building could house a collection of artifacts.
A further plus is that Stand use Bull nose as a memorial it open it up to a wider band of people I would also suggest putting a copy of the memorial from Hessle road and near the town dock museum there. Then visitor can get a wider picture of Hull's shipping heritage and the human cost.
What ships would you like to see?
And it would be a artiction to rival any where in the Uk if done right. Costly but worth it.
