Newhaven Heritage Museum

Newhaven Harbour, Edinburgh

What is it like to live in the tightly-knit fishing community at Newhaven, and earn a living as a fishwife or a fisherman braving the sea? Discover the origins of Newhaven as a naval dockyard, building between 1507 and 1511 the 'Great Michael', the mightiest ship of its time. Listen to the voices of Newhaven people, hear their songs, and watch a video on the development of the community. Learn about their trade, customs and superstitions, famous choirs and the Society of Free Fishermen.
