This is the best museum on the island. Make sure you get a tour with Billy. It's not open often so make sure you book. It's also closes for winter months. It's got lots of stories to be told and loads of hidden things. Won't say much more or I would spoil it! Can't recommend this enough!!!

Not much to see but a very enthusiastic guide who was very knowledgeable was a hallmark of the place and his stories were really good and enhanced what the place had to offer(extra star due to the guide). Somewhat disappointed as the star attraction the ship /boat was out for rebuilding and preservation
