点评:I visited this gem of a museum as part of an exploration of Spanish Armada sites around Antrim and Donegal. I initially went, as I had heard they had a VR experience around this subject matter which is very informative.. What amazed me was they actually had Armada artefacts from two ship wrecks as I thought it was only the Tower and Ulster Museums, which I visited, had these precious items (Dublin also retains some).
When I explained to Rosemarie and Caroline the nature of my visit, they spent time explaining the laborious and very technical process they went through to attain these historic items. The artefacts are complimented by a very detailed storyboard explaining the history of the Armada in Ireland.
As a Naval History enthusiast I explored the remainder of the museum which houses many interesting and excellent naval and aviation items.
There is a rich history relating to the Spanish Armada around the Inishowen Peninsula and Donegal in general. I would highly recommend the museums own publication The Spanish Armada in County Donegal which can be purchased in the shop and I am sure on-line. This publication, edited by Dave Atherton, one of the divers who recovered many of the artefacts from La Trinidad Valencera, help me immensely when I was tracking many of the sites I visited all over Donegal.
I cannot thank Rosemarie and Caroline enough for their time and dedication in setting up what I would say was the jewel in this fantastic museums crown.

翻译:我参观了这座瑰宝般的博物馆,这是探索安特里姆和多尼戈尔郡周围西班牙无敌舰队遗址的一部分。我最初去那里是因为我听说他们有一个关于这个主题的VR体验,非常有教育意义。令我惊讶的是,他们真的有来自两艘沉船的无敌舰队文物,因为我以为只有我参观过的塔楼和阿尔斯特博物馆才有这些珍贵的文物(都柏林也保留了一些)。
当我向Rosemarie和Caroline解释我的参观性质时,她们花了很长时间解释了获得这些历史文物所经历的艰苦且技术性极强的过程。这些文物与一个非常详细的故事板相得益彰,讲述了爱尔兰无敌舰队的历史。
作为一名海军历史爱好者,我探索了博物馆的其余部分,那里收藏了许多有趣且优秀的海军和航空文物。
伊尼什文半岛和多尼戈尔郡周围的西班牙无敌舰队有着悠久的历史。我强烈推荐博物馆自己的出版物《多尼戈尔郡的西班牙无敌舰队》,可以在商店购买,当然也可以在网上购买。这本出版物由戴夫·阿瑟顿编辑,他是从瓦伦塞拉特立尼达岛打捞出众多文物的潜水员之一。在我追踪多尼戈尔郡各地参观过的众多遗址时,这本出版物给了我极大的帮助。
我非常感谢罗斯玛丽和卡罗琳,她们付出的时间和奉献,才得以建立这本我认为是这座奇妙博物馆皇冠上璀璨宝石的书籍。
