Museo del Mare, Maritime history museum in Porto Vecchio, Trieste, Italy
The museum exhibits an extensive collection of maritime artifacts, including ship models, navigation instruments, and documents related to Trieste's naval heritage.
Founded in 1904 by the Society of Fishing and Fish Farming, the museum started as a fishing collection and expanded through contributions from the Nautical Institute.
The Lloyd collection within the museum presents over 1000 exhibits, including ship models, publications, and artifacts that showcase Trieste's strong maritime traditions.
Located in Magazzino 26, the museum operates from Thursday to Sunday, with extended hours during summer months from April to September.
The museum holds the key used by Guglielmo Marconi in 1930 to send a signal from ship Elettra that illuminated Sydney Town Hall lights from 14,000 miles away.
