This page lists some of the maritime photographs from our extensive collection. The collection reveals much about the development of the harbour, shipbuilding and the fishing industry over the last 120 years. With assistance from South West Museums Council, we are gradually indexing our collection and building an integrated database of our maritime resources. Our photographs are being progressively indexed on our database. Copies of photographs can be obtained in most cases. For details of our search service, click here.
