Being aboard the replica of the Portuguese ship is a deceiving experience. The deck has not much area to walk about on but once you walk into the hull of the ship, it’s a different story. It’s quite spacious & fits two levels of Maritime museum galleries! One can view old images, statues, history of the Melaka & Portuguese arrival, & much more inside the full of the ship. It is difficult to know whether the Portuguese, led by Admiral Lopes de Sequeira first came to Malacca for the purpose of conquest in 1509.
