A museum inside a ship
The location determines the scale and atmosphere of the visit. Note the stairs, deck and forecastle before you view the displays; accessibility may therefore differ from an ordinary building.
Models as explanation
Ship models make types and construction clear at a glance. Compare a model with photos of a working ship and check which period and sailing area are mentioned.
Artefacts and simulator
Everyday objects show navigation and daily work; reports also mention a simulator. Ask on board which parts are available during your visit.
Before you go
Walk-in access is only Tuesday and Saturday from 12.00 to 16.00; groups and schools can arrange a different time.
