Review & FAQ:
The Fisheries Watchtower Museum is a historic Victorian tower and ‘draft netting station.’ Built in 1853 in a neo-Romanesque style, the tower is set on the banks of the Corrib in Galway city and was constructed to watch over fish stocks and stop any illegal fishing on the river. Today, the tower houses a museum that documents the history of boating and salmon fishing in the area with exhibits of historical photographs, fishing equipment, and tanks holding young salmon and elvers (eels).
