The Museum’s collection extends across a range of categories such as maritime history, shipbuilding, and ship repair, emigration, the US naval presence in Cork Harbour and of course the stories of the generations of seamen associated with the town. While the focus of the Museum is centered upon the story of Passage West and its relationship to the sea, other exhibitions feature other aspects of local history such as the Cork Blackrock & Passage Railway, folklife, fishing, rowing, social and political history and noted personalities from the locality. School tours are particularly welcome and can be arranged by appointment.
