Why visit the Shipwreck Treasure Museum?

The dangerous cliffs of the Florida Keys contributed to numerous shipwrecks of Spanish galleons during the 16th century. Artifacts recovered from these ships are housed in the Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum, providing a historical experience.

This two-story building celebrates Key West's history, enhanced by the wealth from sunken ships and local salvage efforts. The museum is designed as a 19th-century shipwreck salvage warehouse showcasing 400-year-old artifacts, along with numerous audiovisual presentations that illuminate this historic endeavor.

You can explore various rooms filled with treasures from the Spanish galleons and visit the watchtower, a replica used to spot shipwrecks. Visitors can also ring the bell that alerted locals to wreck sightings.

Throughout the experience, actors in costume narrate the rich history of Key West, making it enjoyable for all ages.
