Do you like building model ships?

We have a selection of our historical big ships available as models to build at home.

[Ballina Naval & Maritime Museum @BallinaNaval]

You can buy them from us directly when you come into the museum or online, with our new shop!

They are simple and inexpensive, so are a wonderful gift for Christmas or Birthdays.

We can mail these out to anyone, anywhere.
