Falmouth Gallery

Falmouth is the world’s third largest natural deep-water harbour and a sheltered haven for large ships.

It was once the maritime hub of an Empire, so internationally important that in the 1880’s 25 countries had consular representatives here. Explore the maritime history of Britain’s first and last port of call: from the Packet ships of the late 17th century to the heyday of Falmouth’s port in the 19th century and right up to the present day with the record breaking achievements of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Dame Ellen MacArthur.

Stepping into our Falmouth gallery is like stepping back in time.

Falmouth’s incredible history is celebrated through objects, journals, listening posts, interpretation, photographs and interactive displays.
