FOYNES FLYING BOAT MUSEUM
Foynes, County Limerick


Foynes Flying Boat Museum monument

Even though Foynes had a very short lived history, from the 1930s through 1940s, it was the primary terminus for the eastern route across the Atlantic. It was also the first route set up for passenger travel and holiday makers. The terminal now serves as a museum to the history of the "flying boat" and sea plane service in Ireland. The original weatherand radion room and the 1940s style tea room are particularly evocative of that era. Don't miss the audio/visual show!
