Reprezentacyjny gmach zbudowany w 1933 roku wg firmy ,"Dyckerhoff & Widmann" z Katowic. Składa się z dwóch wyrażnie różnych części: frontowej Hali Głównej oraz, stanowiącego jej przedłużenie, Magazynu Tranzytowego. Dworzec Morski służył do obsługi ruchu pasażerskiego. Do sąsiedniego nabrzeża Francuskiego cumowały transatlantyckie liniowce, na pokładzie których tysiące Polaków wypływalo z kraju. W 2014 roku budynek został odnowiony i przystosowany do nowej funkcji - Muzeum Emigracji.
