Commissioners exploring the idea
Castletown is exploring the possibility of earning World Heritage Site status.
The ancient capital of the Isle of Man has Castle Rushen, the Old House of Keys, the Old Grammar School and the Nautical Museum at its heart.
The idea, which is in its early stages, is the brainchild of Chairman of Castletown Commissioners Colin Leather.
Mr Leather says the town has a good case:
Manxman repairs expected to exceed £2.5m
The Steam Packet's flagship has been out of action since July
Treasury Minister: Taxpayer footing Manxman repair bill
Steam Packet has previously said it would be paying
Island's youngest ever MHK says he has 'a lot to prove'
Eighteen-year-old Daniel Davison elected in Glenfaba and Peel
"Clearly I'm a candidate" for chief minister - Chris Thomas
Douglas Central MHK re-elected for the fourth time
