Itinerary

  • Key West Shipwreck Museum

    Your shipwreck voyage begins in 1856, the year the Isaac Allerton sank. On your visit to the Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum, view artifacts from this ship, one of the richest shipwrecks in Key West history. Spend hours exploring the remnants of old ships and learning about the fascinating salvage industry through artifacts and interactive exhibits. Learn about how shipwrecks became a profession that made Key West one of the richest cities in America. See what it was like to work in the dangerous shipwreck scavenge industry back in the mid-19th century, as well what sorts of rewards were reaped. Sift through artifacts and watch informative video presentations as you dive deeper into this fascinating world. Watch actual underwater footage of a shipwreck. And summon all your strength to lift a silver bar salvaged from a Spanish galleon. Learn the intriguing story of the Isaac Allerton. Many of the treasures throughout the museum were excavated from its watery grave. Find out about the people who struck it rich risking their lives to recover wealth from the sea. Then do as the ship captains once did and climb a 65-foot (20-meter) observation tower for the pinnacle of your museum experience.

Wreck Ashore!

Published on Dec, 2024

This museum surprised us - the history of wrecking in Key West is really interesting. They had exhibits, videos, and tidbits that appealed to all age groups. It is not a large museum but they use the space really well to pack in tons of information. Plus it is great to climb the tower and get a view of the town from above and imagine the wreckers looking for stranded ships on the water.

Cool stuff

Published on Dec, 2024

Best part was at the beginning of the tour — a costumed guide is there and gives you some interesting history. Views from the viewing platform are nice.

Better
