Macau Maritime Museum is located on the inner harbor of Macau and its striking architecture reminds on of ships under sail. it is located essentially where the Portugeuse landed in the early 1500s. The Macau peninsula and the two nearby
islands of Taipa and Coloane were essentially fishing villages for much of their history. Fishing and building boats are a big part of their heritage. The ship painting in the museum shows the type of ships that were made and sailed.
There were also many other smaller fishing vessels.
