The exhibits include several types of boats found locally and associated artefacts, photographs and charts, plus nets and other items associated with their use.

There is also an example of a mudhorse which is a wooden sledge is propelled across the mudflats to collect fish from nets.

[1] The museum specialises in the shallow draft Flatner, a form of vessel once prevalent in Bridgwater Bay and adjacent coastal areas.

They were built from elm boards or clinker and were pulled along the banks of the drainage ditches on the levels.

Slightly larger boats, known as Bay or Gore Boats, have also been fitted with a simple sprit- or jib-headed sail, long rudder and dagger board for fishing use in inland waters.
