I chanced upon the Flying Boat Centre and what a revelation! Housed inside the walls of the old Pembroke Naval Shipyard it has been open since 2014. Inside you'll find a good exhibition of the history of the naval shipyard, the town's proud connection with the RAF's Sunderland Flying boat squadrons and lots of associated memorabilia There a pleasant little cafe inside and lots of helpful well informed volunteers in attendance should you have any questions. I would have given 5 stars but this is not the finished product as yet, there are more things planned that will justify 5 stars rating. read more

Pembroke Dock has more than 200 years of remarkable heritage; the aim of Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre is to share this unique history and experience with the world. Pembroke Dock once had a thriving shipbuilding industry, building more than 160 ships for the Royal Navy including all five of the Royal Yachts that preceded 'Britannia'. The only Royal Dockyard in Wales. Pembroke Dock was also the world's largest ever flying boat station during the Second World War. The waterway was home to the giant Short Sunderlands and the crews who flew and serviced them, playing a vital role in the Battle of the Atlantic. These unique military, maritime and industrial histories have been the backdrop to the Pembrokeshire community that has served them, and we aim to tell all their stories.
History
Established in 2006.
Since its creation in 2006, Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust has grown to provide and support a range of projects that each concern the heritage of Pembroke Dock, directly involving its team of dedicated volunteers. The project began with the story of the Royal Air Force Short Sunderland flying boat T9044 which sank in the nearby waterway, exhibits now include recovered parts of this aircraft. In April 2014, Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre opened to the public. The Heritage Centre is based in the beautifully restored Dockyard Chapel which dates from the 1830s. The former Flying Boat Centre and Workshop in the Dockyard, and exhibits at Fleet Surgeons House have now been fully incorporated into the Heritage Centre, which tells the story of the military, aviation, maritime and social history of this internationally important community.
