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.
