The collection showed the owner`s passion for
maritime art and history. On display were builders
models, sailor models, miniature models, half models,
card models and dioramas. The models reflected

presented by oil paintings, etchings, drawings, fotos,
posters and prints. On show were maritime decorative
objects such as sign boards, knot boards and ships in
bottles. The exhibits were grouped under these
categories: The age of sail, Merchant shipping,
Pleasure boating, Sea travel & cruising, Fishing,

a reference and research library of over thousand volumes.
Models and artifacts as well as navigation instruments
were displayed on antique furniture and visitors commented
that the place had a cosy feel of an art loving captain`s house.
