The Museum
This is one of two small museums located between the Palace and West Piers. Displays show pictures and films reflecting times when the fishing industry was prominent in this town's economy. The old fishing boat, known as a Sussex Clinker, can be viewed in this institute. It is the type of boat that used to be abundant in this region.

Descriptions
The main museum arch is the focal point of Brighton's fishing quarter. It contains a 27ft beach boat, prints, photographs and memorabilia of Brighton seafront life from the Regency days to the post-war boom in pleasure boat operations. A computer archive is also available which can be consulted for more information about the local fishing and boating fraternity. The museum also operates a 12-seater passenger boat, Skylark, off the beach in fair weather during the summer months. There are also two shellfish stalls, a smokehouse and a smoked fish shop are adjacent to the Museum.
