The Maritime Museum was constructed after the 'Flor De La Mar', the Portuguese ship which sank off the coast of Melaka on its way back to Portugal. The ship was believed to be carrying priceless treasures seized from Melaka.
Visitors to the museum can see artifacts from 14th century Melaka Sultanate to the Portuguese, Dutch and British periods.There are also exhibits of foreign ships which called on this strategic port. This is a place to visit in Melaka to see the the ancient trading ships.
The Maritime Museum is located just ahead of the Stadhuys. The best way to get there from the Stadhuys is by walking to better appreciate the galleries, museums and other historical buildings. Admission is RM 3 for adults and RM 1 for children
