At the National Maritime Museum in London, you can learn more about the great explorers like Sir Francis Drake, Christopher Columbus and Horatio Nelson to name a few, who ventured out on their maiden voyages to discover the world through the ages. As well as their many ships that were much as part of history as the great explorers themselves.
