The setting is ideal: where better than a historic shipyard on Pembroke Dock’s waterfront with its own slipway and dry dock?
On a visit to the Museum you can expect a tour of the museum building which houses smaller craft, a wealth of nautical miscellanea, navigational instruments from times gone-by, working models, tools, photographs and model boats/ships and much more.
Outside in the 'Yard' your guide will show you the 2 main worksheds, the historic Fishguard lifeboat restoration, the forge and the boat port where several other craft are stored. Children need supervision in the workshops and the yard, one feature of the yard is a Victorian tidal dock.
