Visitor Reviews for Charlestown Shipwreck Centre

2/5	The old tunnels, lifeboat and diving bell at the begining of this museum are probably the best parts. There are some interesting items, but most of the displays are very old - you can tell because most of the bits described as 'today' are dated in the '80's! Virtually nothing is hands on or suitable for younger children. Most of the exibits are labelled and described, but the labels are old, dull and faded. I am very interested in the Titanic, but most of the items displayed in thissection were general White Star items only loosely related to the Titanic. Also they don't accept the vouchers printed on various area guides, or even those on their own leaflets - excuse is that they've already reduced the prices this year!! Only worth visiting on a very rainy day.
