It gives you an oversight of the city's maritime history and the displays of the various boats and ships and the story of the owners through text and historic photographs is fascinating.The museum is located over two floors and easy to navigate and displays are also in English. On the second floor is a huge and amazing displays from seas shells from all over the world. They are all beautifully displayed and the lightning is perfect.

Obviously, these are ruins. But it is certainly worth a trip to see this Ancient Wonder. There is a nice viewing area and small museum, which provides some explanation. However, you should visit with a tour guide. A tour guide is also helpful due to the inconsistent hours. Be sure to ask your guide or hotel to check if it is open. We visited on during a national holiday and it was closed; however, our guide somehow got them to open for us. They then opened for a couple hours before closing.
