Maritime museum

The Maritime Museum was opened in 2005 in Santos. It contains one of the most significant collections of marine history and underwater archaeology in Brazil, including the now-closed Museum of Marine History of San Vicente, presented by the materials of civil engineer and marine scientist Carlos Alfredo Hablitzel.

The beautiful museum building has two spacious floors, where approximately 240 square feet is occupied by an exhibition. The presentation of the exhibits is carried out using scenographic elements that allow visitors to “travel through time”, interacting with models of sailors, pirates, captains and so on – which is especially attractive for children, adolescents and even adults.

At the Maritime Museum, visitors will learn about the history of many shipwrecks that occurred along the Brazilian coast. Here you can see ancient objects found by divers at the bottom of the sea, admire picturesque canvases with sea episodes to see models and models of famous ships, and much more. All this happens to the sounds of an old song performed by old sailors.
