New Exhibition for 2009

Pull Together

The museum's new exhibition gives the history of the US Naval presence in Queenstown during WW1 and details the co-operation between the British and US Navies during that period.

A collection of pictures, text and artefacts highlights the relations between the two navies, the warfare tactics, the role and duties of the US Naval forces and their recreational activities.
