Chaguaramas Military Museum

Trinidad


Doing a sterling job in the face of limited budgets, this fascinating privately run museum celebrates the role of Caribbean soldiers in overseas warfare by way of battle re-creations, photographs and military hardware. There's also a decommissioned BWIA passenger jet slowly rusting in the ocean breeze.
