Historic
ships and museums
The best
information on historic ships, life in the age of sail and ship modelling you
get by visiting museums or restored ship like HMS Victory or replicas like the
British frigate Rose.
I put in a list of some museums which I visited in recent years and where I was allowed to make photographs. The
pages give a short characterisation of the museum, a link to its homepage, and
photos of some of the exhibition objects.
If you have
a chance it is worthwhile to visit:
Portsmouth historic dockyard, the center of the Great Age of Sail, with
HMS Victory of 1765, Nelson's flagship, in dry dock,
HMS Warrior of 1860, the world’s first iron-hulled
warship powered by steam,
the rediscovered hull of the
Mary Rose of 1545, and her museum,
the
Royal Naval Museum,
the replica
of Endeavor, the ship of James Cook,
the replica of
frigate HMS
Rose of 1757,
the replica of the Dutch
VOC ship Batavia of 1628,
the replica of the
1340 cog ship
of Kampen,
the
Science Museum in London,
the
Musee de la Marine in Paris,
the Museo Naval in
Madrid,
the
Deutsche Museum in Munich,
the
Museu da Marinha, Lisbon,
the Orlogsmuseet
in Copenhagen,
the Vikingeskibsmuseet
Roskilde, Denmark,
the
Internationales Maritimes Museum in Hamburg,
