The museum is by Bude's canal near its historic sea lock. It is partly housed in what was once the Canal Company's smithy and the old forge is incorporated in its displays. Models, maps and pictures tell the story of the unique Bude Canal with its sea lock and incline planes. Bude's maritime heritage is brought alive with a collection of photographs, shipwright's tools and objects salvaged from the many vessels which were wrecked along this treacherous coast during the days of sail. Visitors can measure themselves against the Cornish Giant, Anthony Payne of Stratton, a Royalist hero in the English Civil WarÂ…. Â…and discover the genius of Sir Goldsworthy Gurney who invented the Bude Light while living at his nearby Castle home.
