==Displayed objects==
In this teensy ramshackle museum, a mishmash of old boats, fishing memorabilia and a hard-hitting photo-video of the effects of the 2004 tsunami in Tranquebar are found. <ref name=planet/> The Tharangambadi maritime museum has displays of preserved sea life, shells, models of boat, utensils, costumes, paintings and little more that were used by the Danes. They also have a small Indian stamp collection.<ref>[https://www.tripadvisor.in/Attraction_Review-g1119849-d17536414-Reviews-Tharangambadi_Maritime_Museum-Tharangambadi_Nagapattinam_District_Tamil_Nadu.html Trip Advisor] </ref> The Danish Commander’s House is an airy 18th-century bungalow. It was restored by the Danish Tranquebar Association. It now houses the Tranquebar Maritime Museum. In it stories of the sea are found. An old wooden ship occupies an important place. It is surrounded by an odd collection of ships parts, old trunks, and the skeletal remains of marine creatures, and bits and bobs collected from Danish ships. <ref>[https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-denmark-on-the-coromandel-2793133 Denmark on the Coromandel, DNA, 29 September 2019]</ref> Glass objects, Chinese tea jars, swords, daggers, spears etc., are found.
