The sea is full of secrets, and treasure’s not always as it seems. What will you discover amongst our 8000 finds?
Embark on a journey through Charlestown's connection with china clay: from the pits, to the harbour, to the four corners of the world.
Home to the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, Charlestown Underground, Rebellion Cafe, Joules and more besides – the Merchants of Charlestown has enough to keep you inspired, curious and excited about what might lie around the next corner.
The Shipwreck Treasure Museum can be found in the Merchants of Charlestown building over looking Charlestown harbour, Cornwall.
Charlestown is near St Austell and has excellent public transport links. It's easy to travel to by car, although the historic port can become busy during the summer.
