See the largest hand-knotted loom in the world, view live demonstrations of how hand-knotting is done, and also have the opportunity to test your own skills at the loom.

Here in Killybegs one can see the largest fishing fleet in Ireland which was once the home port of the Atlantic Dawn, which was one of the largest fishing vessels in the world. Step into the boots of a fisherman via the Bridge Simulator replica of a boat wheelhouse, and experience the virtual reality of the ocean.
