SOUTH OF MALAYSIA

 

 

 

The Royal Malaysian Navy Museum in Melaka is an exciting tourist attraction since this place houses various navy memorabilia and equipment used during the days when computerize system was not invented yet. The best exhibit are the salvaged remnants of pottery from the Diana which sank in Melaka in 1817 while on its way to Madras from Canton. About twenty tons of precious chinaware was recovered during a salvage operation in 1993 from the sunken cargo of the Diana. This museum is located just opposite the Maritime Museum.
