Explore Key West’s vibrant wrecking history immortalized in the Shipwreck Museum in Old Town.

In its early days, Key West settlers knew that shipwrecks were a quick way to get rich and that they didn’t have to go far. Today the history of that pirate mentality is on display at the Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum, which gives visitors an interesting view of the island’s many shipwrecks and treasure troves.
