Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre

The Shipwreck Treasure Museum (Previously the Charlestown Shipwreck & Heritage Centre) located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Charlestown, Cornwall, England, is a historical museum housing over 8,000 artefacts from over 150 different shipwrecks. Artefacts include the only intact barrel of coins ever recovered from a wreck, and items relating to famous shipwrecks, including the RMS Titanic and HMS Victory. In 2019 the historic network of tunnels beneath the museum (originally built to transport China Clay) were reopened to the public as 'Charlestown Underground'.
