Temporarily Closed

Asgard: From Gun-Running to Recent Conservation

Free admission

Closed due to unforeseen circumstances.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. 

From her building in 1905 by Colin Archer, the celebrated Norwegian naval architect, to her pivotal role in the 1914 Howth gun-running and her later use as Ireland’s first national sail-training vessel, the yacht has had many incarnations.

Since August 2012 the Asgard has been on display in Collins Barracks. She stands as a monument to the skill of both the original builders and the conservation team, as well as a reminder of the turbulent events of 1914.
