Visited Cochin Port Maritime Heritage museum today morning. It is located near Sisu Vihar Nursery School. Those who are interested in the history of Willington Island must visit these museum. They have all old photographs since the Island made by Dradgeing. It is really wonderful to see old photo showing the construction of old Mattancharry Bridge. For entering the Museum Cochin Port is Charging a small fee of Rs 10/- per person. I highly recommend people to visit the museum and gain knowledge.

It is a small museum. Not that much visitors were there when I last visited. This museum will give an idea how cochin port builded and its formative years through photographs. The miniature of port and equipments used usually in a port and other machinery for Port construction is also exhibited here. The primitive equipments used by Portmen and Fishernen can also be seen here.

The thing to note is that Photography is strictly prohibited here. The Watchmen comes and tells occasionally 'do not take photo here'. However after interaction with him we felt that he was a Knowledgable person about Kochin Port's history. As people rarely come for a visit, we will get a kind of freedom that lacks in usual museums.
