Ramsgate Maritime Museum

Ramsgate Maritime Museum

The Ramsgate Maritime Museum is a maritime museum in Ramsgate, Kent, England that describes the maritime history of East Kent. The museum is situated in the Clock House on the quayside of Ramsgate harbour.

There are four permanent galleries covering the development of the harbour, navigation, fishing, lifeboats and shipwrecks. A fifth exhibition space houses a 17th century 32-pounder demi-cannon raised from the wreck of the "Stirling Castle". A number of artefacts come from the nearby Goodwin Sands which is responsible for numerous of shipwrecks.
