Melaka Museums - Submarine Museum

In the centre of Melaka my top rated museum to visit is the peranakan Museum. However, Melaka has many more.

We drove out towards the sea and found a submarine museum.

The submarine was bought from the French and used as a training ship before being turned into a museum for the education of all.

Photographer Chongkian has a picture of the submarine's interior, on the Wikipedia Commons page.


Hanging on the gate by the ticket kiosk was a list of other museums. Mntreost of them are back in town. A large theme park is under construction next door and there is lots of new development being built. We headed back to the town cantre and riverside for afternoon tea at Casa del Rio.

If you are reading abou this in the UK or planning to go to the UK, London has a warship museum, HMS Belfast, in the water on the river Thames. My family member fondly recalled, "I saw lots of pictures of it because Amateur Photographer magazine used to have an office overlooking the ship and they would test out cameras by photographing it. As it was black and white it was an ideal subject in those days."
Out of London, there's also a submarine museum.
