A primary aim of the project is to make a wider range of people both aware of and involved with Salcombe’s rich maritime heritage. Historian and chair of the Salcombe Maritime Museum Roger Barrett and his colleague Abi Gray explain how Heritage Lottery funds are making it possible for them to bring both the story and residents’ recollections of Salcombe’s links with ships and the sea, from ancient times to the Second World War, to a far wider audience.
