When we took a Thames River Cruise from London to Greenwich last fall to see the Royal Meridien, we discovered the National Maritime Museum, one of a quartet of the Royal Museums in Greenwich. The others are the Royal Observatory Greenwich<\/a>, where the Meridien resides, and two others that will have to wait till next time: the historic ship Cutty Sark<\/a> and the Queen’s House<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Maritime Museum takes you on an exploration of British naval history and Imperial arrogance, with a ship simulator, nautical oddities, and interactive games. We loved the giant message in a bottle and the colorful exhibit of ship figureheads. Admission was free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
