Historic Tuna Wharf
The Wedgeport Sport Tuna Fishing Museum is perfectly situated right on Tuna Wharf Road, placing it directly next to the historic Tuna Wharf itself. This wharf is not just a scenic landmark but is the hallowed ground where the village earned its reputation: it served as the original site for the weigh-ins and departures of the prestigious International Tuna Cup Match, which began in 1937 and drew anglers and celebrities from around the globe to compete for the Sharp Cup.
