One of the most profound things to view in Melaka City is the replica of a Portuguese Man o War ship. The ship is tall especially with its high main mast but its length looks stunted. It’s a Maritime museum located a rickshaw ride away from the A Famosa ruins. Entrance fee for adults is about $3 per person.
In the 1500 on the approximate date of 1511 ad, the Sultanate of Malacca lost the possession of Melaka port & city to the Portuguese Naval forces & collaborators. Hence, the control of the renowned Melaka port immensely enriched the Portuguese nation as it meant control of the trade in the center of the Spice Islands. Portuguese writer, Duarte Barbosa wrote “He who is lord of Malacca has his hand on the throat of Venice”. Click on to view a closer look of the Portuguese Carrack Replica in Melaka.
