The Harbour Museum
The Old Harbour Museum began in 1972, with the first official curator, Mr Guy Clark, being appointed in 1973. The museum is on the slopes of the old harbour where you would have once found fishing shacks from the earlier days. When it was first renovated, some old fishing boats were repainted and placed on display outside ur, where you would have once found fishing shacks from the earlier days.
The present museum is made up of two sections: the Historical Old Fishing Harbour and Fisherman’s Village. The indoor displays include items used in the fishing industry during the earlier part of the 20th century. Included is the “Selkirk Collection” (a collection from the world-famous angler and shark catcher) Also a variety of aquariums that display the sea life found around the Hermanus area, specifically the Intertidal Zone.
