Hi Bryan
Yes mate i was at that place not long ago (Tow Weeks ago) on my Holiday there to Cape Town. The Museum has changed over the Years.
Great place to visit that V&A Waterfront!
Cheers

The South African Maritime Museum is a major attraction at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. It features floating exhibits such as the SAS Somerset (the world's last surviving boom defense ship) and the Alwyn Vincent (a steam tug) both of which are moored at the V&A waterfront.
Location:	Cape Town, South Africa
