Naval Museum

About exhibition

\n\nThe Naval Museum of the “Sevastopol Wardroom” is located at a historic site on Cape Khrustalny in the very center of Sevastopol. It houses the most comprehensive collection (over 130 items) of models of submarine projects, auxiliary and combat ships in various scales, and is unique for a number of models in Russia and worldwide. The museum features a gallery of portraits of Russian tsars and naval commanders who shaped Sevastopol and the fleet, paintings of naval battles of the Russian Imperial Black Sea Fleet, models of sailing ships of the 17th–18th centuries, and a fully set officers' wardroom table from a Soviet combat ship of the 1960s–1970s with a rare Dulevo ship's porcelain service and unique melchior (nickel silver) utensils. A separate hall is dedicated to the Shrines of the Russian Fleet: “ADMIRAL BY THE GRACE OF GOD!” It houses exhibits related to the memory of the fleet commander Fyodor Ushakov: a copy of his lifetime portrait from the island of Corfu, his uniform with orders and distinctions from his period as vice-admiral (1796–1801). The main shrine is the icon of the Holy Righteous Warrior Feodor Ushakov, already nicknamed the “Sevastopol” icon — this is exactly how he looked during his service in the Black Sea Fleet during his victories in the Mediterranean Sea.\n\n
