naval museum

Seafaring history display

A naval museum is an institution dedicated to preserving and displaying maritime military history—ships, submarines, weapons, uniforms, and artifacts from naval warfare.

Many are located at historic dockyards or aboard decommissioned vessels: The USS Intrepid serves as a naval museum in New York Harbor.

Some focus on particular conflicts or eras of seafaring.
