Holyhead Maritime Museum, Maritime museum at Newry Beach, Wales
The maritime museum occupies a restored lifeboat station building at Newry Beach, featuring exhibits about shipwrecks, rescues, and local maritime traditions.
The museum opened in 1986 following a series of maritime exhibitions in 1982 and 1983, relocating to its current site in 1998 with Heritage Lottery Fund support.
The exhibits present artifacts, models, and historical documents that detail the maritime heritage of Holyhead and its connection to the Irish Sea crossings.
The museum provides wheelchair access, includes a bistro on the premises, and allows children under 16 to enter free when accompanied by an adult.
Visitors can explore a World War II air raid shelter and test an authentic air raid siren as part of the Holyhead at War exhibition.
