Armada Museum Description
Opposite Bantry House is the Bantry French Armada Exhibition Center. In the winter of 1796 a French fleet of 43 ships with 16,000 men began to support the "United Irishmen" in their resistance to the British. Since only 16 ships reached Bantry Bay the French had to retire after a few minor skirmishes. About 100ft/30m beneath the sea the French frigate "La Surveillante" was discovered in 1985. A model of this ship can be seen in the Armada Museum.
