About Maritime Museum
Its displays move from fishing communities to seaborne trade and navigation technology. A ship-deck setting provides a physical link with voyages, while instruments on the upper level explain how vessels found their way. The building itself evokes a sailing ship. Pair the museum with Barra Square and the temple exterior to connect the indoor displays with the waterfront community they describe.
What to look for
- The fishing-culture displays introduce the lives of local maritime communities.
- A ship-deck setting and navigation instruments show different aspects of travel at sea.
