Malacca's Ghost Ship: The Flor de la Mar

Malacca is steeped in history, and nowhere is this more evident than at the Maritime Museum. Here, you'll find a stunning replica of the Flor de la Mar, a legendary Portuguese galleon that met a watery grave in the Strait of Malacca. This majestic vessel was once the pride of the Portuguese fleet, carrying immense wealth plundered from the Sultanate of Malacca. Its tragic demise, laden with treasure, has fueled countless legends and treasure hunts. While the real Flor de la Mar remains lost to the depths, the replica offers a glimpse into the ship's grandeur and the era of maritime exploration. #malaccacity #malaysiatrip #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #trip
