Maritime Museum Dubrovnok

[CarlosE]

I had the opportunity to visit the Maritime Museum in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and see its collection of ship models and half-models. I’m sharing a few pictures, although I’ve just realized that they don’t really do justice to the beauty of themodels or the craftsmanship of the modelers. Still, I wanted to share them anyway.

Carrack.
Dubrovnik carracks were renowned for the high quality of the materials usedin their construction and were known to last longer than other carracks built in the Mediterranean.

A beautiful museum to visit, get a book with pictures and description of the models plus some maritime history of Dubrovnik.
