Visit the Curaçao Maritime Museum
Like most islands, Curaçao has a rich history on the seas. The Curaçao Maritime Museum presents much of it through an exceptional collection of seafaring artifacts housed within an intimate setting along St. Anna Bay. Detailed scale models of old vessels, classic photos, charts and documents highlight more than 500 years of history. The booming times of trade, commerce and piracy that saw Willemstad become one of the richest ports in the world are all covered, providing rich context for understanding the Curaçao of today.
