This place was amazing! The exhibits were very realistic and some were very interactive! In my free time I went the aero exhibit and the maritime exhibit. I really excited to go through the maritime exhibit after we went to one in Amsterdam. I learned about the evolution of the ship design and of the steam engine am came into play on ships. I was really interesting to see all the model ships that were on display and made it easier to see what I was reading being applied in the model form.
One of the ships in read about was the Victory, she was a gigantic man of war class ship to be used in the 7 year war. This ship had over 100 cannons, and is now a museum! I found this amazing that this ship was never engaged due to its shear size! I have attached a picture showing the size of this ship!
I really enjoyed seeing the progression of technology in ships! I find it funny that the Victory was so big that it was not even deployed! We have jet carriers that are probably even bigger and made of metal that are used now!
