Children in the Lookout Tower at National Maritime Museum Cornwall. A girl looks through binoculars across the harbour.

Find out about historic buildings, local landmarks, coastal features, and special events and vessels in the harbour.

Look north across the water toward the village of Flushing, former home of Packet Ship captains, or inland to the west and Custom House Quay where the customs used to land contraband goods seized from ships. There are binoculars and telescopes for you to use, and a series of maps so you can build up the history of the harbour and its surroundings.
