FOYNES FLYING BOAT MUSEUM
|
 |
|
|
|
During
the 1930s and early 1940s, the port of Foynes was the fulcrum point
for air traffic between the United States and Europe. The famous
flying boats were frequent visitors, carrying passengers who ranged
from celebrities to refugees. The Foynes museum recalls the era with a
comprehensive range of exhibits and graphic illustrations.
It also includes a 1940s style cinema, the original terminal
building through which many VIPs passed, war years' radio and the
weather room. Irish coffee was "invented" here in 1943.
There is also a coffee shop and souvenir shop on the premises. |
