Arklow Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in Arklow, Ireland.
The Arklow Maritime Museum contains over two thousand exhibits including ship models, navigation tools, and photographs documenting the seafaring traditions of County Wicklow.
Founded in 1976 in an old technical school, the museum emerged from community efforts to preserve maritime artifacts that were being discarded in the 1970s.
The museum displays medals and personal items from local fishermen who rescued survivors of the RMS Lusitania disaster during World War I.
Located in the Bridgewater Shopping Centre since 2009, the museum offers guided tours and maintains regular opening hours throughout the year.
The collection features a scale model of the Asgard II training vessel, which was constructed in Arklow before its eventual sinking in the Bay of Biscay.
