Default Melaka (Malacca) Malaysia

Melaka is the third smallest state of Malaysia, but there is a wealth of history here, having been under Portugese, Dutch and British rule.
Unfortunately time did not allow visits to all the interesting parts, but here are a few pics to give you an idea.
The "galleon" houses the Maritime Museum, which sadly was not visited but hopefully the other pics will be of interest.
The cannon outside Fort Santiago appear to be on marine carriages??? Hopefully someone with more knowledge about these might care to comment.
