Drs. Martin H. Evans and Janet West maintain a list of Naval and Maritime Museums in Britain and Ireland at http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/mhe1000/marmus.htm

Click on the link above to go to the whole maritime museums web-site. The main page is a large 300+ KB, 10,000+ line xhtml text file. There are 6 other primary pages, with maps, indexes, links and a list of vessels.

If you only want a list of names of museums and links to relevant web-sites, then click on the smaller file:

For those who are using older browsers that cannot handle XHTML files properly, the older HTML 3.2 format maritime museum pages are still retained temporarily. These pages have not been updated since 2008 and will probably be deleted at the end of 2011:

"The only scholarship that has any merit, I suppose, is what is useful to other people as well as oneself. The most meritorious of all is what is useful to other scholars, sometimes for generations."

Peter Levi: "The Hill of Kronos", 1980.
