Buckler's Hard, Maritime museum in New Forest, England
The Buckler's Hard Museum presents exhibits about naval construction through ship models, artifacts, and recreated historical cottages along the Beaulieu River.
The museum documents the construction of numerous naval vessels in the 18th century, including three ships that fought in the Battle of Trafalgar.
Exhibits display the daily life of shipwrights and laborers through period-furnished cottages, showing the social differences between maritime workers.
The museum provides riverside walks, guided tours, a café serving refreshments from Easter to October, and detailed information about naval architecture.
Visitors can examine artifacts from the SS Persia wreck, a P&O liner sunk by a German U-boat, connecting the maritime history to the Montagu family.
