The Country’s finest collection of Fighting Warships are situated here at the Corn Warehouse Quay. 

See two historic Falklands War veterans -  the frigate HMS Plymouth which saw action from the beginning to the end of the Falklands campaign and the submarine HMS Onyx wich was the only non-nuclear submarine to take part in the Falklands conflict. This meant that she was the only submarine that could operate underwater near the coast of the Falkland Islands. 

The second World War German Submarine U534 is the only German Submarine to be raised from the seabed after being sunk by the Allies. 

Adventure Tours of the U534 are now available. Reservations should be made in advance.
