Welcome to our Online Museum
More items are being added to our collections in digital formats which the museum exhibits on video screens or sound systems. As we have limited screens in the museum, these videos are also displayed here. While you can’t quite appreciate the size of our four lifeboats you get a feel for their histories and restoration, and see more of the museum.
If viewing in full-screen mode, you will need to use your ‘Escape’ key at the end of each video to exit to normal screen view. You can also view these videos on our YouTube channel.
