The Peninsula Maritime History

Welcome to our app where you can discover more on the Maritime history and heritage of the Peninsula and the villages of Ballyholme, Groomsport, Donaghadee, Ballywalter, Portavogie, Cloughey and Portaferry.

This is a PEACE IV European Union’s funded Programme, managed by Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) in conjunction with Ards and North Down PEACE IV Partnership. Match-funding has been provided by the Executive Office in Northern Ireland and the Department of Rural and Community Development in Ireland. This Programme has engaged with local heritage and maritime enthusiasts to produce a travelling exhibition, an interactive portal and this smartphone app.

We hope you enjoy discovering our past and encourage you to visit our maritime sites located all along our spectacular coastline!
