Great free museum, a must visit
Excellent place to look around, run by sine bet enthusiastic people - we got the full story of the amazing lifeboat and it's restoration, a great little bit of local history. Some interesting old photos and memorabilia from the local area too.
Wonderful heritage centre with beautiful old photos and memorabilia from Seaham and it's lifeboat which has been beautifully restored. Set in a marina with craft shops and cafes and stunning sea views.
We visited as I lost a friend in the Seaham Lifeboat Disaster all those years ago. The East Durham Heritage Group, incredibly, have managed to return the lifeboat, the George Elmy to it's original condition and it's original home. The story of how it was done will amaze and fill you with admiration. The story of the disaster and the recovery of the boat is laid before here along with the boat itself! Please visit. We owe the group a huge debt of gratitude and what we owe the crew of the George Elmy and past and present lifeboatmen can't be quantified in words.
Fascinating museum. Wonderfully helpful and friendly people. Great sculpture outside is a bonus.
