It features floating exhibits such as the SAS Somerset (the world's last surviving boom defense ship) and the Alwyn Vincent (a steam tug) both of which are moored at the V&A waterfront.
Displays include reminiscent exhibits yearning for the romantic days of the Union Castle mail-ships, a shipwrights workshop and a 'discovery cove' for children.
