Lots of fun activities for children
Children love dressing up as pirates, hunting for the pirate treasure and discovering the secrets of Davy Jone's locker. There's also lots of games, models and hands-on displays to keep them amused.
Salcombe Maritime Museum
About Salcombe Maritime Museum
The harder you search the more you will find in this friendly little museum … A treasure trove of models, paintings, photographs and artefacts which tell the story of Salcombe’s links with ships and the sea from ancient times to the Second World War.
There is plenty to amuse and engage younger visitors including hands-on displays, models and pirates treasure, in the ‘young sailors’ corner. The Museum has a unique gallery of paintings depicting the famed racing fruit schooners built in Salcombe during the 19th century.
Great collection of ship paintings and models and finds from shipwrecks
We have over 30 magnificent paintings of ships built or owned in Salcombe and Kingsbridge and a dozen ship models. The Wreck Room is full of finds from local shipwrecks.
Our collection has been built up over 50 years
We celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2024. Over the years we have been donated many momentoes from United States Navy veterans who served in Salcombe in World War II before and after D-Day.
