Inishowen Maritime Museum

The Museum is located in the old coastguard station on Greencastle harbour, overlooking one of the busiest fishing fleets in Ireland, with magnificent views over Lough Foyle and Co. Derry. It is situated beside the Greencastle - Magilligan ferry.


The Planetarium gives us an insight into how mariners used to navigate, and provides dazzling star and light shows.
