Cornwall and the Sea Gallery

Nowhere in Cornwall is more than 17 miles from the sea. This proximity has shaped both the landscape and its people.

In this gallery you can discover how Cornish people have made a living from the sea, how local craft were built and who sailed in them. Exhibits explore Falmouth’s role in global communication and trade, along with the development of Cornwall’s migratory links around the world. Witness the stories of dramatic rescues off the Cornish coast.
