"SURAKHANI" SHIP-MUSEUM
About This Museum
You'd never guess this place started life as an actual, working oil tanker, permanently docked right here in Surakhani. Stepping aboard feels like entering a time capsule dedicated to Azerbaijan's rich maritime history. It's not just dusty models; you can wander through the restored crew quarters and even stand on the bridge, peering out at the Caspian Sea. The whole experience gives you a real sense of the people who lived and worked on these vessels.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is the ship itself, but below decks you'll find everything from detailed models of ancient sailing ships to old navigation equipment and photographs of Baku's bustling port through the ages.
Visitor Information
It's super easy to find in the Surakhani district, and most people find an hour or two is plenty to see everything without feeling rushed.
Architecture & Building
It's a massive, sea-worn oil tanker ship, all industrial steel and rivets, permanently moored as a floating museum.
