Scottish Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in Irvine and Dumbarton, Scotland
The Scottish Maritime Museum operates in two locations, featuring extensive ship collections, marine engines, and industrial machinery from Scotland's naval heritage.
The Irvine location opened in 1991 in the former Engine Shop of Alexander Stephen and Sons, while Dumbarton's site began operations in 1883.
The museum preserves industrial artifacts, including a reconstructed 1920s worker's flat and ship models that showcase Scotland's maritime manufacturing expertise.
The museum maintains regular hours from Monday to Saturday, with adult tickets priced at 5 pounds and special rates for children and concessions.
The Dumbarton site contains the first commercial ship testing tank in the world, measuring 100 meters in length.
