On September 8th, I had the opportunity to visit the Cartagena Spain Naval Museum. This is a wonderful museum. They had a lot of information about the Spanish Naval history and a special building dedicated to the Spanish Navy submarine history. Most buildings have an amazing collection of model boats dating from the early 1500's up to the latest models of the Spanish Navy ships and submarines. If you are interested in model boat building, don't miss the opportunity to visit this museum with over a hundred models. You will not regret visiting this wonderful museum.

Details of parts for the U.S.S. Constitution. I like the adjustable jig for bending the plank, simple but very effective.
I was welcomed to the museum by one of the directors from the Spanish Marines who graciously explained about the museum to me.
