Discover a veritable treasure trove of Salcombe’s maritime past in the town’s friendly little
museum. The harder you search the more you will find in the museum which houses models, paintings, photographs and artefacts which tell the story of Salcombe’s links with the ships and the sea from ancient times to the Second World War. The museum offers plenty to amuse and engage younger visitors including hands-on displays, models and pirates’ treasure in the ‘young sailors’ corner. The museum also boasts a unique gallery of paintings depicting the famed racing fruit schooners built in Salcombe during the 19th century. Today Salcombe is a fashionable yachting centre but traditional boatbuilding crafts are still carried on in the town and the museum houses an impressive collection of tools that tell the story of these maritime trades. And be sure not to miss the sea-bed treasures recovered by divers from the hundreds of shipwrecks that line our coast. Salcombe museum is open from April to october from 10.30am to 12.30pm and from 2.30pm to 4.30pm and is situated in Market Street, below Salcombe Information Centre.
