Falmouth (Cornish: Aberfal) is a seaport on the south coast of Cornwall in the United Kingdom. Falmouth is famous for its harbour. Together with Carrick Roads it forms the third largest natural harbour in the world. It is also famous for being the start or finish point of various round-the-world record breaking voyages, such as those of Sir Francis Chichester and Dame Ellen McArthur. Falmouth's maritime activity is much declined from its heyday, and it is now primarily a tourist resort. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall opened in February 2003.
