A very nice Museum, established after a successiful exhibition called "Sesimbra and the Sea", and dedicated to fishery. The comprehensive collections illustrate traditional fishing techniques, ship and boat construction, and modern fishery. The section regarding the typical and picturesque espada fishing-boats is particularly interesting.

Un bellissimo museo, fondato dopo una mostra di grande successo che si chiamava "Sesimbra e il Mare", e dedicata alla pesca. Le vaste collezioni illustrano le tecniche tradizionali di pesca, le tecniche di costruzione di navi e barche, e la pesca moderna. 
La sezione dedicata alle tipiche e pittoresce barche da pesca tradizionali chiamate espada è particolarmente interessante.
