The Trieste Sea Museum is located on the city's waterfront. The Museum is located in the Warehouse 26 in the Porto Vecchio. The museum was founded in 1904 and is considered to be one of the oldest in the city. The Museum houses a section dedicated to the Lloyd's collection, the shipping company that marked the maritime history of Trieste. A thousand objects, including ships, models, publications, nautical instruments, papers, porcelain and silver are exhibited in the large spaces of the Warehouse. The museum's objective is to tell the story of the company and its fleet, but also of life aboard large cruise ships, between entertainment and lunches. The key with which Guglielmo Marconi from the Elettra ship sends the signal to turn on the three thousand light bulbs of the Sydney Town Hall on 26 March 1930 is kept in the Sala Marconi. There are also transversal collections of a hull, an anchor and some equipment of the radio equipment that was on board the Elettra ship. The Museum is considered a reference point for the history of the city and hosts educational workshops open to children and school groups.
