Although I have visited many maritime and naval museums as well as museum ships in the Scandinavian countries, Europe, USA and Australia, I cannot say that I have first hand knowledge of more than a small percentage of the museums and ships of this list. The rest of the information have been collected from various sources of which you will find some listed below.

• Guide to Naval & Maritime Museums in the UK, a series of flat text files maintained by Dr Martin H Evans and Dr Janet West.
• List of Naval and Maritime Museums, a flat text file compiled by Joseph Poutre.
• Maritime and Naval Museums, a bibliography.
