Fantastic display and an amazing old ship in remarkable condition considering it's age. Built in 1853 the Edwin Fox has a rich and colourful history. Small gift and souvenir store. Open 7 days a week.

"Excellent price for what's on offer. I loved the upstairs room with the chronology of the boat, the documentary video about it, and also the more general history of shipping in the area. The ancient boat itself was the cherry on top. Great experience and thoroughly recommended!!"

Really interesting and very cheap to enter. The ship itself is amazing to see -- so big! so real! -- but I learnt a lot from the museum displays too.
