When we took a Thames River Cruise from London to Greenwich
to see the Royal Meridien, we discovered the National Maritime Museum, one of a
quartet of the Royal Museums in Greenwich. The others are the Royal Observatory Greenwich,
where the Meridien resides, and two others that will have to wait till next
time: the historic ship Cutty
Sark and the Queen's
House.
The National Maritime Museum takes you on an exploration of
British naval history and Imperial arrogance, with a ship simulator, nautical
oddities and interactive games. We loved the giant message in a bottle and the
colorful exhibit of ship figureheads. Admission was free.
What a fun discovery! Greenwich deserves more than a day.
