Belgian National Maritime Museum

With its collection of more than 94,000 items ranging from a uniform button to actual boats, the National Maritime Museum is the only general maritime museum in Belgium. The maritime history of the neighbouring regions (Belgium, Northern France and the Netherlands) plays a central role in the collection. In the maritime park which is situated next to the museum, you can see actual ships and archaeological findings.

The many items of this collection are organized around certain themes such as inland navigation, fishing, training ships, the ‘Belgica’ expedition to the North Pole (the first expedition spending the winter there), shipbuilding, pleasure craft, red star line (which brought many immigrants to the USA around the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th centuries) and the oostende-dover ferry service.
