The Nautical Museum, Castletown, is a branch of Manx National Heritage and was opened in June, 1951. It centres on the 18th century yacht Peggy, and occupies the boathouse built for her by her owner, Captain George Quayle, in 1791. The small, three-storeyed building stands in the shadow of Bridge House, which dominates the north-eastern side of the harbour. This was the Castletown home of the Quayle family of Bridge House, and Crogga, and reflects the prominence of the Quayle family in the life of the Island’s then capital in the 18th century.
