The Key West Shipwreck Historeum Museum is located at 1 Whitehead Street, Key West, Florida, United States. It combines actors, films and the actual artifacts from the 1985 rediscovery of the wrecked vessel Isaac Allerton, which sank in 1856 on the Florida Keys reef and turned out to be the richest shipwreck in Key West's history.[1]
The historeum tells the story from the point of view of wrecker Asa Tift and his wrecking crew as he tells the story of how this unusual industry provided for the livelihoods of the early pioneers of Key West.
Guests can climb the 65' lookout tower.
