More information on Fishing Museum

This unique tribute to the days when the town was a small fishing village known as Brighthelmstone brings the history of Brighton's oldest industry alive. The centre-piece is a full-size clinker-built fishing boat, built in Sussex following traditional methods used for many generations. The museum also features the history of the Skylark, the first pleasure boat ever to use the name, sounds of the sea and historic recordings and films of Brighton's past. A great insight into a bygone era - and admission is free.
