The collection is housed in three buildings, including a Martello Tower. Extensive collection of Navigation and Communications equipment. Selection of firearms, larger ordinance and related equipment. An original (de-commissioned) torbedo from a WWII Motor Torpedo Boat. Depth charge and launching mechanism. Assorted cannon, including one on the roof of the Martello Tower, mounted on tracks with reconstructed block and tackle aiming equipment.
