Foynes Flying Boat Museum

This one isn't just for aviation buffs -- history fans will fall for it, too. This was the first Shannon Airport -- predecessor to the modern runways of Shannon Airport in County Clare -- restored as an absorbing museum. It commemorates an era begun on July 9, 1939, when Pan Am's luxury flying boat Yankee Clipper landed at Foynes, marking the first commercial passenger flight on the direct route between the United States and Europe. On June 22, 1942, Foynes was the departure point for the first nonstop commercial flight from Europe to New York. This is also where bartender Joe Sheridan invented Irish coffee in 1942. (At a festival each August, there's a contest to select the world Irish-coffee-making champion.) The complex includes a 1940s-style cinema and cafe, the original terminal building, and the radio and weather rooms with original transmitters, receivers, and Morse code equipment.
