Apung 1, Museum ship in Punge Blang Cut, Banda Aceh, Indonesia.

The 2,600-ton electrical generating barge stands on dry land, displaying its full metal structure and interior components for visitors to examine.

During the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, massive waves transported this power generating vessel approximately three kilometers from its coastal mooring location.

The vessel functions as an educational center where visitors learn about the natural disaster through photographs, artifacts, and personal accounts.

Visitors can access all areas of the ship daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM without paying an entrance fee.

The vessel rests precisely where the tsunami deposited it, surrounded by a memorial garden with walking paths and educational displays.
