The fort of San José el Alto in Campeche, built for defence against the English, which also resisted sieges by the Yucatecans and the French, today contains an important collection of archaeological objects submerged in marine waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Caribbean. In addition, the museum exhibits a collection of antique historical arms from the 16th to the 19th centuries, a rare cannon salvaged from the sea and scale models of famous ships.
