What to see in the Shipwreck Museum
The Shipwreck Museum has displays about several shipwrecks that occurred on the south coast in Kent and East Sussex.
The museum has a particular emphasis on the Amsterdam, an 18th-century cargo ship that belonged to the Dutch East India Company. A replica of the Amsterdam is moored at the National Maritime Museum in Amsterdam.
Other shipwrecks highlighted in the museum include the Anne, one of Charles I’s warships dating from 1690, SS Storra and Invincible.
