Il piccolo Museo is located in the historic building of the State Railways. Inside the hall, it is possible to identify some sections that over the years will be enriched with further objects and documents related to the history of Torre’s seafaring, which are listed below:
– Collection of tools related to work in the Shipyards.
– Biography of many Master Shipwrights and history of the Shipyards.
– Modeling of Torre’s nautical.
– Classic modeling for educational use.
– Onboard equipment and nautical instruments
– Safety instruments at sea.
– Photographic repertoire dedicated to Torre’s shipowners, with vintage photos of that extraordinary epic which in the nineteenth century and in the early decades of the last century laid the foundations of the economy and well-being of the City.
– Documents concerning the ancient Arts of Torre’s seafaring (sailmakers, caulkers, sawyers, ropemakers)
There could not be missing a section dedicated to our Italian Navy and one that recalls the extraordinary feat of Commander Ajmone Cat in Antarctica.
The documentation concerning the “People of the Sea” (those who allowed Italian fleets, merchant and passenger, to sail the seas of the whole world) is currently collected on CD and DVD and viewable through the use of a computer.
One of the goals of this Museum is to provide young people with those cultural, social, and artistic elements (for a long time dispersed) of our maritime tradition.
The Museum, therefore, a historic and educational place of collective memory: a message written by the Naval League Section of Torre del Greco for this and for the next generations of Torre citizens.
