Jinpo Maritime Theme Park

진포해양테마공원 · Jeonbuk · Theme parks & experiences

The Jinpo Maritime Theme Park opened in 2008 to commemorate the sweeping victory at the Battle of Jinpo, the naval combat against the Japanese forces led by General Choi Mu-seon in 1380. Constructed with a scenic backdrop of the local port and the vast sea, the park houses 16 retired military crafts of 13 models. On display at the park are vintage tanks, historical artillery, combat planes, and warships including the Wibongham Ship, a vessel that was used in combat during the Vietnam War. Visitors can also explore the interior of decommissioned warships. The exhibition hall inside the Wibongham Ship showcases weapons used during the Battle of Jinpo, artillery made by General Choi Mu-seon, and the typical life inside the warship.
