Jorge Priego Martínez Navigation Museum

In the Magical Town of Frontera, Centla, the Jorge Priego Martínez Navigation Museum invites visitors to discover the deep connection this historic port town has maintained with its rivers, the sea, and navigation throughout its history.

Its four permanent exhibition rooms house an interesting collection of objects related to maritime and river life, including ship wheels, telescopes, spyglasses, tools, fishing equipment, and other artifacts that bring visitors closer to the stories of sailors and communities that relied on waterways for transportation, work, trade, and development.

The museum also features a newspaper and periodicals archive and offers guided tours, making each visit an opportunity to explore Frontera’s historical heritage and understand the important role navigation has played in shaping the identity of Centla.

Visiting the Navigation Museum is like sailing through Frontera’s memories and discovering the history of a Magical Town whose identity has been shaped by rivers, boats, and the Gulf of Mexico.
