The whole experience was interesting and the Maritime Museum was a great place to spend the day. I thought visiting the warships was particularly interesting, because one seldom has the chance to see and go on board that sort of ship. It was also fascinating to go down into the ship’s engine room. Just imagine working in a confined space like that!
