About Arklow Maritime Museum

Its original purpose was to celebrate the town's rich seafaring heritage, described by the late maritime historian John de Courcy Ireland in a letter to the museum as "Ireland's Most Maritime Town". In 2009, the museum moved to its current location at the Bridgewater Shopping Centre.Address : N Quay, Ferrybank, Arklow, Co. Wicklow, Y14 Y744, Ireland
