Ship Space

Ship Space is a maritime museum in Inverness housing a large 1:10 scale model of the Titanic constructed from three caravans, with detailed interior recreations and maritime artifacts on display. The building sits along Clachnaharry Road near the Caledonian Canal.

The museum opened in 2012, founded through Stanley Fraser's twelve years of building scale models and gathering maritime objects. His long-term passion for ships and history shaped the collection now displayed inside.

The exhibits showcase Scottish maritime work and life through objects connected to fishing boats and trade. Displays reflect how boats shaped communities and daily routines in coastal regions over generations.

The location is easy to reach along Clachnaharry Road with parking nearby at Telford Street Retail Park. Wear comfortable shoes as the stairs inside the Titanic model are narrow and steep.

The Titanic model was built from three caravans stacked and joined together, a creative way to construct such a large display. Three separate rooms inside recreate a Parisian-style café, the navigation bridge, and a radio communications center with period-accurate details.
