This museum, which is located in an old canning factory, tells the maritime history of Iceland. The visit ends on board the Odinn, a cruiser that took part in the Cod War. From there you can see its much larger and more comfortable successor, the Thor.
Near the museum there are old fishing huts on the quays where large factory boats are anchored and can be clearly seen from the cozy harbor café Kaffivagninn.

The museum ship is not the only thing that is worth visiting here. There are many beautiful ships, from sailing boats to submarines, anchored here.
The boats that have been drained for restoration on land are also impressive.
