Objects in the Nottage Museum.

Introduction
Having been founded as a school for mariners, the Nottage began to recieve gifts from local residents and businesses. At first these were navigational instruments, books on navigation and seamanship, and the ship half models which had been used by local shipyards. Later other items of maritime or local interest were acquired.
As this collection grew, the donations placed on display gradually took on the form of a small museum. This museum is now open to the public during the Summer months when the classes are in reccess.

A Gun Punt.
Photograph of a gun punt. This is not thought to be the one for which the punt gun on display in the Nottage was made, but is typical of this type of craft. The gun was mounted on the ring set into the bows. Note the low profile for approaching the birds unseen.
This is not a Nottage exhibit, it used to be moored on the Quay in front of the Nottage but has since been removed.
