This museum is located on the moored for decades armored battleship "Averof", a man-of-war, which while it was intended for the Italian Navy ended up in the Greek Navy and proved to be an ace in the hole, noting repeated triumphs in the Aegean Sea. The purchase of Averof, although expensive, was co-funded by a part of the legacy of G. Averof (hence the name) and the National Fleet Fund. Led by the Admiral Pavlos Kountouriotis, the battleship "Averof" enjoyed its heyday of glory, during the first Balkan war, since after the successful sea battles of Elli and Limnos the Ottoman Fleet did not sail into the Aegean Sea again. After these successes, it was used as an ancillary in World War I and II as well as in the Asia Minor Campaign. Nowadays, it is located in Faliro-Trokadero Delta and is open to the public that wants to visit the ship, which made proud the Greek Navy. The visitors can wander around inside the ship, the cabins as well as on the deck, where heavy armored weapons will impress them. Last but not least, they can see various objects-heirlooms of the era, such as the uniforms of the sailors and the naval officers, their medals and several photographs. Besides the battleship "Averof", the visitor can also visit the water-splash sailer "Evangelistria", the Cable Steam Vessel "Thales of Miletus", the sailer " EugeniosEugenidis", the anti-torpedo ship "Velos" and the Athenian Trireme "OLYMPIAS".
