Children's Museum

If our ships don't tire them out, this will.

Kids seven and under have a place all their own – our Children’s Museum. Here, young sailors can swab the deck, move cargo, cook in the galley, dress in sailors’ garb and even sleep in ships’ bunks. And to think people used to complain about the sailor’s life.
