The Shipwrights Arms

The Shipwrights Arms

The Shipwright's Arms is well over 300 years old, although sources claim that traces of an earlier building date back to the thirteenth century. The pub was first licensed in 1738, although it would have functioned as an Inn well before that.

 

The inn has a rather unsettling phantom to behold - a sailor with glowing red eyes. His appearance is accompanied by the smell of "rum, tar and tobacco" as well as a noticable drop in temperature.
