Over 6,000 years of ship history

The 4th floor exhibition room at the end of the stairs that looks like a luxury liner. Models of sailing ships that were active during the Age of Discovery and trade goods from the Silk Road are displayed here.

The number one highlight is "The World's Sailing Ships".

From rafts, the most primitive type of ship, to ships from ancient times and the Age of Discovery, modern steamships, and even the modern age, there are models of ships lined up neatly. This is a corner where you can learn about the history of ships around the world, which spans over 6,000 years.

Ships are said to be the first vehicle created by mankind.

This is the "Santa Maria" used by Columbus to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The ship, which had previously been propelled by human power, was now propelled by wind power. This was the beginning of the Age of Exploration!

This is the "Black Ship (Susquehanna)" on which Perry came to Japan in 1853 in search of the opening of the country. A steamship that uses both sails and a steam engine.

Other exhibits include maritime trade goods from the Age of Discovery and an ancient Roman "amphora jar" salvaged from a shipwreck discovered in 1985.

At Nagoya Maritime Museum, we were able to enjoy learning about the history and role of the port that supports our lives.

The museum was renovated in 2015, so even if you are an adult who has visited the museum as a child, please come and visit. You will surely rediscover it as an adult!
