Un lugar para recrearse, aprender y ver cosas asombrosas en Venezuela - A place to recreate, learn and see amazing things in Venezuela
years ago during a vacation on Margarita Island, I visited the marine museum and was pleasantly pleased with the place and the attention of its workers, educated guides, trained to serve people from all over the world, they speak several languages: French, Portuguese, English, and Spanish. In this publication, I will show you part of the museum and my favorite pictures.
The image shows the tail of the whale skeleton, and in its review it says: "It is a specimen of 14.80 meters long that was found dead and stranded next to the island of Cubagua in 1994. This skeleton was rescued thanks to the arduous and generous effort of some workers of the school of Applied Sciences of the sea of the Universidad de Oriente in Venezuela".
Traje de buzo de escafandra - Diving suit made of escafandra
This is an authentic scuba diving suit that was used in pearl fishing (precious stones), hence the nickname of the island as the pearl of the Caribbean. It is one of those used between 1902 and 1960, the suit was made of cork and allowed soldiers or divers to float and cross a watercourse.
With or without cork, I consider that the suit was quite heavy because the case was built with heavy metal.

Cubagua Nueva Cádiz la isla desaparecida de Margarita - Cubagua Nueva Cadiz the missing island of Margarita
Part of the marine museum shows the history and a spectacular model of what is believed to be the disappeared island of Cubagua, which existed according to historical records between 1516 and 1543. Nueva Cadiz was the first city founded in Venezuela and the first Spanish city in South America. It was erected before the year 1500, after Columbus' third voyage and they decided to settle there because of the riches hidden in the sea, THE PEARLS.
The disappearance of Cubagua was a slow process mainly due to the lack of drinking water, the resistance of the Indians to the strenuous work of the pearl fisheries imposed by the Spaniards, the visits of French pirates meant a serious threat to the survival of the city is destroyed in 1541 by a tidal wave.

Feliz día, gracias por valorar mi publicación su apoyo constante siempre es importante para mi @scilwa gracias.
Cuando era niño fui a visitar ese Museo con mi madre, era muy niño sin embargo aún conservo algunos buenos recuerdos de aquel entonces, no se como se encuentren esas instalaciones hoy en día.
Mi visita al museo fue hace años, en ese entonces estaba bonito me imagino que por tener tanta afluencia de extranjeros debe estar en buenas condiciones.
Me alegro que te haya traído recuerdos de tu infancia 🤗
Que buen bronceado vale!
🤭😋🤣🤣 Casi me carbonice en esos 15 días que estuve allí, 😁
