    This is a nice little museum that focuses on naval construction over time. There are lots of models and artefacts, plus some explanations. It's also a lively relaxing space. On the downside, the story of naval construction isn't told particularly coherently. It's basically a lot of models (someone must've loved making them) and other bits and pieces just chucked together in one place. Where you see a minor explanation by an exhibit, it seems like it's been written twice in Spanish (or is that Galician?). Other explanations are translated into English etc albeit with some translation 'quirks'. However, it's €2 for an adult that's been enjoyably spent! Free wifi and the adjoining museum is free btw.

    Being a maritime engineer myself, this place is enjoyable and the Euro 2 dollar is definitely well spent. Glad to know that Ferrol Shipyard, used to produced aircraft carrier, twin Derrick drillship back in 1998, as well as FPSO in 1995. If u r here without any knowledge in maritime, then this place is not for you as it doesn’t explain the overall construction process well. Skip this n visit the one next door which is FOC.

    A very beautiful museum, the building is very interesting, and an exhibition that can be very educational.

    Stunning and historic building. First floor wasn't open the day I was there. The visit was anyway really interesting.
