Constructed
after 'Flora De La Mar', the Portuguese
ship that sank off the Coast of Melaka
on its way to Portugal. With its hull
laden with valuable treasures seized from
Melaka, the ship was doomed from existence
had it not for the efforts to Melaka's
heritage. At the museum, visitor can get
a closer look at Melaka from the famed
Malay Sultanate of the 14th century to
the Portuguese era, the Dutch era and
the British era. There are exhibits of
foreign ships that had once called at
the port of Melaka during the height of
its maritime hegemony.
