List of museum ships
Summary
This list of museum ships is a sortable, annotated list of notable museum ships around the world. This includes "ships preserved in museums" defined broadly but is intended to be limited to substantial (large) ships or, in a few cases, very notable boats or dugout canoes or the like. This list does not include submarines; see List of submarine museums for those. This includes ships currently or formerly serving as museums or preserved at museums. This includes ships on static display or floating and perhaps sometimes used for excursions. It includes only genuine historic ships; replica ships, some associated with museums, are listed separately in the List of ship replicas.
