“When we went there on Oct 15, there really wasn’t a lot of people, rather besides one or two people it was just us. Museum wasn’t manned by anyone so theoretically you could just enter without paying for a ticket, but it if you buy a ticket it would allow you to board the Galleon replica on the other side of the road. The contents of the museum were interesting, but the ship on display was in disrepair and couldn’t be boarded”
