We've just analysed 250 comments from our visitors book over the last 12 months and we were bowled over by the wonderful feedback from our visitors from Dartmouth, Devon, the UK and beyond. It wasn't just that people found it a really interesting place to visit, but that they found the experience wonderful, the displays amazing, the models fabulous and the staff well informed and helpful - a winning combination! Come and see for yourself!

It was an honour to welcome surviving members of the MacAndrew family to the installation of a Blue Plaque in honour of Vernon MacAndrew at Paradise Point, his family home in Warfleet. Many thanks to Chris and Julie Jelf for their generous hospitality.

Following up on the Museum's objects and photos of Lightships built by Philip & Son at Noss, we discovered this unique image of LV 90 Tongue lightship in 1935/6, in the collection of Vernon MacAndrew. There are very few colour images of lightships in Dartmouth, and this image also includes the Historic Ship Portwey, 100 years old next year, towing LV 90 out for sea trials. It also includes MacAndrew's motor yacht Campeador IV, used to support his yacht racing at regattas up and down the coast. Three historic vessels in one historic image.
