Salcombe Maritime Museum

"A treasure trove of models, paintings, photographs and artefacts which tell the story of Salcombe’s links with ships and the sea from ancient times to the Second World War. There’s plenty to amuse and engage younger visitors including hands-on displays, treasure hunts, games, pirate’s dressing -up and models in the ‘young sailor’s corner’. The museum has a unique gallery of paintings depicting the famed fruit schooners built in Salcombe in the 19th century. And finally don’t miss the sea-bed treasures recovered by divers from the hundreds of shipwrecks that line our coast."
