Key West Shipwreck Museum Tickets & Tours

The Key West Shipwreck Museum is located in Key West, Florida, United States. It combines actors, films, and actual artifacts to tell the story of 400 years of shipwreck salvage in the Florida Keys. The museum itself is a re-creation of a 19th-century warehouse built by wrecker tycoon Asa Tift. Many of the artifacts on display are from the 1985 rediscovery of the wrecked vessel Isaac Allerton, which sank in 1856 on the Florida Keys reef and turned out to be one the richest shipwrecks in Key West's history, has resulted in the Federal Wrecking Court's largest monetary award for the salvage of a single vessel.
