Un museo che trasuda storia e tradizione della marineria irlandese. Un tempo Arklow era sede di importanti cantieri navali di carattere commerciale. La crisi e altre vicissitudini hanno ridotto se non cancellato l' attività locale e il museo testimonia proprio questo con reperti, cimeli e fotografie di una pagina importante di storia irlandese .

Hello Davide, thank you you for your kind review. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
As someone who worked in this museum one summer, 1993,may I encourage all my fellow Arklownians to revisit this gem of Local History.New modern layout still uncovered some fascinating titbits of information for me .
I took my relatives from The Hebrides and they were fascinated by our mutual seafaring traditions.They so appreciated that the young Guide took time to allow for their questions and Facilitated their Observations on Their Traditions....He was Knowledgeable and Patient and to me made things that I akreafy knew about the town so fresh and Interesting He was a" Natural" tour Leader,I believe his name was Dirmuid?
My relatives went off with knitting patterns for the Atklow gansey to compare with The Benbecila one, same seafaring tradition= none of them Chose to Swim as it was" God's Will".......
My only disappointment was that the books purchased had not been signed by Mr Jim Rees himself...I believe there is a real o opportunity here for Arklow to make contact with th Hebrideam Communities here, after all we ar all Vikings are wr not?
Best Wishes, Murdina , whose name in Dcits Gaelic means , Mistress of The Sea.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review, Murdina. Delighted that you relatives from the Hebrides found so much in common. We will pass your comments on the books on to Jim.
