 Wexford
Town is a maritime town whose very
name underscores it's Viking origin. On the eastern seaboard of
Ireland, located at the mouth of a fine natural harbour, Wexford
offers the visitor a delightful maze of meandering streets, lanes
and passage ways.
Everywhere is the all prevailing sense of a maritime centre of
great antiquity. At its core is tangible evidence of its Norman period,
especially in its delightfully presented Heritage centre, in the
restored Westgate Tower.

Kehoes
Pub and Maritime Museum
has the unique
distinction of having been in our family for six generations. Up
to 1987 it was our family home where several generations were
reared. With changing times, the look and feel of the pub was
altered - with the major transformations taking place in the early
part of 1994. In all stages of development, our objective has been
to preserve the best of what we had and to enhance the traditional
ambience of the premises. From the natural slates on the roof to
the old re-milled pitch-pine flooring, tradition has been our
theme. |

DUNBRODY
This exhibition is the result of extensive research carried out over several years by the Kennedy Trust, using source data which includes material from Dunbrody's ship's box, and original manuscripts including passenger lists.
Why not take a tour
of the ship as it is being constructed without having to leave
your seat, "it's well worth a look & will be updated
regularly".
